Patti Smith: Dream of Life
When Patti Smith moved to NYC in 1967 she said she was going to "kick poetry's ass". Obviously it was not only poetry's butt that had the boot coming. But how Patti got from the pig swamps of Jersey to godmother of punk is a story we all need to hear.
Filmmaker Steven Sebring brings us a document, narrated by Smith, charting eleven years in her life - travels, concerts, spoken word performances, painting, photography, writing and thinking.

Description:
‘It's such a sadness... that you think you've seen a film... on your... fucking, telephone. Get real.' (David Lynch on the iPhone). The man has some things to say about product placement also. If we're preaching to the church organ players association here let us know, but David Lynch is a goddam fucking legend from the freaks hall of fame.
Event: Film
Stimulus: A
Focus on Jim Henson
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew here at Muppet Labs, where the future is being made today. And what a sad day it is too, for Beaker, my fickle and wayward assistant, has gone missing. Drama. Pathos! The Muppets are so much more than a bunch of anthropomorphic creatures with hands up their patooties. They are entertainers.
Speedy (1928)
If you need something to wash the Big Apple clean after its tawdry affair with Sex and The City, ACMI has a treat this weekend: 1928's Speedy, the final silent film of Harold Lloyd, famously called "one of the enduring valentines to New York from Hollywood."
This isn't just a love letter - it's an instruction manual.
d.v.d at Aphids Reel Music Festival
Comprised of two human drummers and a visual artist, d.v.d piece together live animations triggered by the musicians' drumming. They push music/gaming boundaries by reworking the ‘80s arcade classic, ‘Pong' (You all know, Pong, yeh?) with their own unique tribute. These guys are just one of the groups performing at the Aphids Reel Music Festival - four nights of live performances combining music with the moving image.
The Universe of Keith Haring
I always thought, in my wisdom, that Keith Haring went to Collingwood Technical College. This is partly true. I mean (like my Dad ‘went to MIT' and got me a t-shirt), Keith went to Collingwood Tech and painted the wall behind the Tote when he was visiting from New York in 1984.
Though you may not be as patently ignorant as I, this doco is a good chance to brush up on the legacy of a painter, graffiti artist, sculptor and designer who was at the heart of New York's ‘80s street culture.
Tiny Moving Pictures
John Foxx’s bucolic audio-visual collage in Tiny Moving Pictures reflects his entire career. His past musical and cinematic influences, from Ultrovox! to his genre-rattling, cross-medium conceptions, surface to weaken the post-‘90s wave of raveless new rave with history and explorative depth.
