On Saturday, April 10th Oddball Film+Video Presents "Oddities Beyond Belief", a screening of
bizarre and offbeat films. This one of a kind program, culled from director/curator Stephen
Parr�s unique collection of over 50,000 16mm films is a rare opportunity to view gems from
the underbelly of his vast archives.
Featured on the program are gems such as "Blackie, The Wonder Horse Swims the Golden
Gate"(1938), "Something to Take to Heart" a creepy religious "science" film,
"Use of Mace"(1967), a Readers Digest(!)law enforcement film that
laughingly demonstrates(with a live human!), the effects of this new law enforcement "tool"
on a would be attacker, "Le Monde Du Schizophrene"(The World of the Schizofrenic), an
amazing, surreal, Daliesque film with a avant garde score from France and distributed by the
Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, "Starve a Rat" produced by the NYC Department of Public
Health in which a cat-sized rat terrorizes urbania, "Black Mama, White Mama", a racial
sexploitation trailer starring Pam Grier, "Rabies in a Human Patient", an apocalyptic medical
film showcasing the end stages of rabies, "Time Piece", a surrealist stroke of genius produced
by Muppets legend Jim Henson, "Blind as a Bat", everything weird you ever wanted to know
about bats from the Moody Institute of Science and many other film shorts including
"Blasting Caps", "Gumby Concerto", some way-out-and-wild 60�s jukebox Scopitones
including "The Web of Love" with blonde bombshell Joi Lansing, and many more offbeat films
too numerous and too shocking to mention here!
Plus! 1950�s allergy test films, 35mm filmstrips, ethnographic shorts, peep show loops,
dumpster films and the 16mm Film Give-A-Way!
