Man Man
Where: Slim's
Date: 2007-10-25 20:00:00
Type:
"The members of Man Man are always holding, shaking, or blowing some noisemaker - adding layers of sound to their oddball waltzes. The pace is so furious that just watching the performances can be exhausting. But who said being an original was easy? " - PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY. Briefly: Above New York and Philadelphia debris Man Man materializes, tender and nightmarish, fastening together Screaming Jay Hawkins, Etta James, 80's pop and Iggy Pop; drawing on Soda Popinski, Mexican funeral marches, religious cults, bad luck, and the pervasive mythology of two-headed wolves and wrangling out something entirely else: peculiarly brilliant, acrobatic, unsettling, romantic, unpretentiously ordered. Accompanied on one song by a chorus of kindergartners, Man Man multiplies precise instrumentation and refined song structure by unusual rhythms and a thick, complex texture to produce a polished eclecticism unlike anything in our collective musical consciousness.

Brand upon the Brain!
Where: Castro Theatre
Date: 2007-05-07 20:00:00
Type:
Music Meets Movies at the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival in Distinctive Live & Onstage Events. Joan Chen will narrate SFIFF favorite Guy Maddin’s faux-autobiographical masterwork, which mines the rich territories of his youth and spins them into a fantasy of familial discontent. The film’s original score will be performed live by a 13-piece ensemble, with foley artists and a “castrato” adding to the fun. A companion piece of sorts to the exceptional silent installation-feature Cowards Bend the Knee, the semiautobiographical Brand upon the Brain! mines the rich territories of director Guy Maddin’s youth and spins them into a delirious fantasy of familial discontent. At the edge of the sea stands a lighthouse, once the location of an orphanage. There, some years ago, lived Guy and Sis, a brother and sister under the constant observation of their mother yet entirely ignored by their father, an ingenious inventor. When Wendy Hale, amateur harpist and half of twin detective team the Lightbulb Kids, arrives to investigate a mysterious regenerative nectar harvested from the orphans, things grow ever more complicated. A love triangle becomes a quadrangle when Wendy masquerades as her brother Chance and goes in search of clues. A fever dream of Freudian impulses and horror show theatrics, Maddin devours 100 years of film history whole and, like the ersatz Guy’s painting of the lighthouse, covers the screen with a 12-chapter outpouring of his various obsessions. Brand upon the Brain! is Maddin’s eighth feature-length film in nearly 20 years (he’s made some 20 shorts during this time as well), and the first to be filmed outside his native Canada (and, therein, his first “foreign” film). At this special screening, the film’s original score will be performed live by a 13-piece ensemble, with three onstage foley artists, a benshi-like narrator and a “castrato” adding to the fun. SFIFF favorite Maddin received last year’s Persistence of Vision Award, and this year will be on hand again to see his latest masterwork augmented by a particularly gifted lineup of performers, including Joan Chen in the role of the narrator. Brand upon the Brain! Monday, May 7, 8:00 pm Castro Theatre Tickets: $20 general/$15 San Francisco Film Society members Part of the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival (April 26 – May 10) For tickets, visit www.sffs.org or call 925.866.9559.

Tiffany Bozic, Artist Dr. Rich Mooi, Curator of Invertebrate Zoology and Geology What would happen if the Academy's marine invertebrate collections were explored through the eyes of a contemporary painter? For several months, Oakland-based fine artist Tiffany Bozic partnered with Dr. Rich Mooi of Invertebrate Zoology, and the result is From the Depths, a science and art exhibit on display from November 15, 2007 - January 6, 2008. Bozic, whose work incorporates richly pigmented acrylic paint on solid maple wood panels, is said to be inspired by John James Audubon and Ernst Haeckel, but dives deeply into the imaginary and darker aspects of the natural world. Join Bozic and Dr. Mooi as they discuss their collaboration and how they found common ground in their passion for understanding nature. A special preview of From the Depths will take place before the evening lecture, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.
