(Program running time approx. 90 min., 16mm)

The world’s leading collector of classroom films and founder of A/V Geeks, Skip Elsheimer, presents this program of totally cracked-out, ephemeral films from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. Elsheimer has carved a niche for himself in the micro-cinema circuit and has a reputation for screening the absolute funniest, weirdest, stupidest films to ever come out of America. The titles for this program include TELEZONIA (1974), an infomercial hosted by a dandy in white tights who teaches children about the wonders of the telephone; VD IS FOR EVERYBODY (1970), a cautionary hygiene film that uses an infectious theme song to talk about an infectious disease; MALAKAPALAKADOO, SKIP TWO (1977), which is everybody’s favorite claymation about two children who turn themselves into singing beanbags; SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER (1980), an industrial film that illustrates the hazards of heavy machinery with an absurd amount of fake gore and a catchy country tune; and as a grand finale, RO-REVUS TALKS ABOUT WORMS! (1970), a film where a frog puppet (who sounds a lot like Mr. T) cautions children about the dangers of intestinal parasites. Plus you’ll see a few mystery films! No Take-10 tickets or passes.
