This Month's FK
The next Film Kitchen takes place on Tuesday, June 14, at 8pm at the Melwood Screening Room in North Oakland.

Cool off with this month’s summer show – a program of delightful short films from three Pittsburgh artists.

Costume designer and film student Marina Pfenning transports us to a stylized 1960s pop art party world inhabited by giant rabbits, devils, and more. Her series of four short 16mm films showcases local drag queen Sharon Needles in a variety roles.

Pittsburgh artist Nils Hanczar presents three animated films, each shot and projected on 16mm film. 2-9-7-8-20 examines the way time is broken down into frames-per-second of film. Memry is a meditative reflection on the past, and God Hates Radiation is a cornucopia blast of brightly colored animation and mayhem.

Justin Crimone of Zeno Films brings two movies to the Kitchen. Wooden, But Wonderful documents a stage performance of Pinocchio by Point Park University theater students, and features the local music of Donora and Kevin Finn. Bus Stop is a short narrative about two acquaintances reunited while they wait for a bus. They soon realize life has placed them on very different paths.

Film Kitchen is cosponsored by Pittsburgh Filmmakers, City Paper, WYEP FM, Digital Video Development, Tandoor Indian Grill, Rock Light, and DH Creative.
