last tuesday I went to see the most recent res show at the egyptian theatre in los angeles. featured were 16 or 17 short films, mostly music videos, for artists like amon tobin, aesop rock, quasimoto and mad lib. the most anticipated piece was the newest short by famed video director chris cunningham. named “rubber johnny” it is his first film in over three years, and apparently he picked up where he left off. creepy, jarring, and occultish, johnny had many of the audience members laughing at its onset, but there was no sound in the theatre by the end save that of the aphex twin soundtrack and the uncomfortable shuffling of feet and flyers. this film is maybe his wierdest yet. another piece that caught my eye was a wickidly sharp video from the UK featuring a group of cars labelled the “petrol crime bureau”, who chase a gas-guzzling SUV through a series of turns and tricks. The next res show is in june 28th, which unfortunately i won’t be around to see, but it’s good to know that cunningham hasn’t decided to pack it in just yet.
