THE FLY
DECASIA

Sunday, December 6, 2009
Showtime: 7:00 p.m.
Where: Woodburn Hall (Room 120)

The FlyThe Fly: Something went wrong in the lab today. Very wrong. Be afraid. Be very afraid. HALF MAN, HALF INSECT...TOTAL TERROR!

DecasiaDecasia: The film is a meditation on old, decaying silent films and is similar in spirit to Lyrical Nitrate. It begins and ends with scenes of a dervish and is bookended with old footage showing how film is processed. Some of the deterioration was enhanced with computers to create more meaningful abstract imagery in the manner of Stan Brakhage. Nothing was done to the actual film prints, most of which were borrowed from facilities such as the Museum of Modern Art, to accelerate their decomposition.
