We’re excited to present the second in our At the Lamplighter series. Sunday’s screening is the psychotronic feast Savannah Electric. And as an extra treat, director Perry Mark Stratychuk will join us via zoom at 9:00.
Here’s a synopsis of the film from the distributor’s website:
On a post-apocalyptic world, a mobile desert factory (Savannah Electric) run by the first thinking machine (The Benefactor), scavenges the last remnants of civilization. Amidst the ecological blight, a clone worker (Gerit Stone) attempts to escape the grip of the machine and psycho-addictive virtual reality device (The SuperInducer), in a half-conscious attempt to regenerate the frontier into what it had once been. In response, The Benefactor dispatches a bounty hunter (H. A. Roc) to eliminate the rogue worker before he can succeed.
Other information and a trailer is available here: Zellco Entertainment.
I really enjoyed our first screening. Thank you to everyone who helped make that possible.
One comment about the last screening was I may have caused some confusion regarding the start times. I put 7:30 on the flyers, but I imagined starting closer to 8:00. I figured it being a bar, there would be some pre-film socializing. I’m going to try to be clearer about the film start time in the future. It makes sense to post the actual movie start time, being that is the standard for film exhibition. Particularly with this upcoming showing. We want to be efficient with Mr. Stratychuk coming in at 9:00. We’re going to start the intro and trailers around 7:35 and make sure we do a hard 7:40 start time with the film. The film is 75 minutes. That will give us time to see the film and be efficient with Mr. Stratychuk’s time. But I will be there early playing music and videos. Feel free to show up early.
I’m really looking forward to this film and our first guest. Drop me a line if you have any thoughts. I hope to see you there. BA
