A nice array of cinematic amusements for Bostonians this weekend. Over at the Coolidge Corner, leading AV Geek and Internet Archive hero Skip Elsheimer returns with more educational and training film goodness:
Friday - BLACKBOARD BUNGLE An evening of old school 16mm films about - interestingly enough - the hazards of going to school in the 1960s and 70s. Films include - Our Obligation, Lunchroom Manners, How Quiet Helps at School, And Then It Happened and more!
Saturday - KIDS AND KRITTERS "Anyone who hates children and animals can't be all bad." These school films feature children interacting with animals, including: Skipper Learns a Lesson, Frances and Her Rabbit, Safety with Animals, Kitty Cleans Up, Ro-Revus and more!
As always, a group film strip reading kicks off each show. Beeeep.
Closer to downtown, the ICA cues up a Friday Reel Rush at 8 p.m., including the Boston premiere of Tracey Moffat's latest film, Love.
In Love, internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Tracey Moffat takes the viewer on a fast-paced journey through the cinema's most exploited theme with hundreds of clips from classic films. Exploring the notion of passion, Moffat takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride from the first embrace of new love to the vengeance of a jilted lover.
Earlier Moffat films Night Cries and Nice Colored Girls also screen, as does Israeli feature documentary Keep Not Silent.
