With Daniel Cockburn in person

Dir. Daniel Cockburn. Canada/Netherlands. 2015, 70 mins. Digital projection. Daniel Cockburn’s exuberantly cerebral, filmically deconstructionist work defies easy categorization, and this multimedia presentation is no exception. At the intersection of filmmaking, criticism, academia, performance art, and personal confession comes this live deconstruction of two postmodern 1994 horror films, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, by way of illuminating both the redemptive and destructive powers of storytelling. Preceded by Pattern Recognition (Dir. Daniel Cockburn. 2017, 9 mins), which isolates abstractly familiar noises from Hollywood thrillers and horror films to deftly explore the power of sound to terrify and unsettle. U.S. premieres.
