Iggy Pop Concert Footage

Iggy in leather thigh-high boots prances, crawls, humps the mic and Ivan Kral captures it all with his 8mm camera. It's 1973 and the scene is the Stooges show at New York’s Academy. This never-before-seen footage will screen as a special pre-program bonus at 6:45pm before the Diamond Pivot Bright program on Wednesday, March 24th. Ivan Kral, who co-wrote Patti Smith's album Horses, will be in attendance to present and discuss the rare footage with local radio station 107one's Martin Bandyke. This bonus screening adds another premiere to a program already featuring major premieres of four new works; three of the filmmakers will be in the house for Q&A (Robert Todd, Alexis Bravos and Luciano Zubillaga).

Dr. Strangeloop Guest Appearance

His 15-minute piece, titled "2010 (or) How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Technological Singularity," will also have its world premiere at 6:45pm on Friday, March 26th. Arrive early for Heaven & Earth Magic to see Dr. Strangeloop transport the historic Michigan Theater to other dimensions!
