PICTURES in the air

PICTURES FEB '11:

'ON THE AIR' pilot episode (David Lynch & Mark Frost, 1992)
The team who brought us Twin Peaks went on to devise and produce a short lived sitcom. Set in the 1950s in the fictional ZBC television studios, the show follows the cast and crew (many of whom are played by TP alumni) of 'The Lester Guy Show' through chaos, calamities and incompetence as they struggle to put together their broadcast. We can't honestly say we've ever seen another sitcom like it. The series only made it to 7 episodes, only 3 of which were shown in the US. Brought to you in the glory of full Standard Definition, taped off the telly in the 90svision

So it goes

It might've come to your attention that Bardens Boudoir, our amazing home for these past two years, is closing its cellar doors on July 1st.

The closing party is gonna be hosted by Upset The Rhythm (so it started, so it shall finish), with bands playing including The Human Race and Covergirl (Bloody Knees/Trash Kit et al supergroup). Make sure you get down there to mark what really is the end of an era for Dalston and the east. Nowhere else came close, we'll miss you terribly Bardens.



it's not all sad though. in other news:

- The Pictures zine #4 will be available early July from the usual outlets, a documentary special including interviews with Frederick Wiseman and Ondi Timoner among others - we're pretty convinced it's the best issue to date, really going for the next level of this kind of thing.

- The Pictures night is going on a UK (European?) tour this August! Details sketchy at present but keep your eyes peeled for dates in a town maybe vaguely within 100 miles of you. More on this as and when.

THE ORKLY KID (Trent Harris, 1985, 35 mins)
See a young Crispin Glover set about organising a TV talent show in his small town home, hell bent on bringing his Olivia Newton-John impersonation to the world. Harris (director of Rubin & Ed) has never widely released the short, part 3 of the Beaver trilogy, but we're bringing it to you tonight.
