Now, what could be worse than to have a little boy become a sissy? The A/V Geeks present an evening of classic campy 16mm school films that examine the behavior of potential wimps and what has to be done to fix it. Admission $13/$9 for members.
Films include:
SOAPY THE GERM FIGHTER (1951) Billy Martin is concerned that being clean is tantamount to being a sissy. Perhaps a giant cake of soap in pantaloons can convince him otherwise.
WILLIAM’S DOLL (1985) – William is an athletic kid but his fascination with baby dolls has his father concerned and his friends picking on him. Can Grandpa fix things with William’s birthday gift?
NEUROTIC BEHAVIOR – A PSYCHODYNAMIC VIEW (1973) – College-aged Peter has problems talking to girls. Could stern toilet training be making him a sissy?
7:30pm, Wednesday, April 7th, Cinema Arts Centre 423 Park Avenue, Huntington, NY 11743 631-423-FILM (3456)

What makes an image moving? We tend to watch and re-watch those films that speak to us, which contain a captivating story or an outright beauty that is enhanced by repeated viewing. Rarely do we return to mundane movies brimming with insipid imagery or sleep-inducing scenarios. That is, until now.
In true Unessential Cinema fashion, film collectors/archivists Skip Elsheimer (A/V Geeks), Andrew Lampert (Anthology Film Archives), Stephen Parr (Oddball Film) and Greg Pierce (Orgone Cinema) have each sifted through their vast reservoir of reels to cull favorite footage that others might term tedious, difficult, dreary, lackluster, lifeless or even uninteresting. But it just ain’t so. Admission $9.
7:30pm, Tuesday, April 6th, Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue New York, NY 10003 (212) 505-5181
