BRUCE MCCLURE: THERE WAS A SWEET HOPEFUL

8PM – Saturday, August 6 & Sunday, August 7, 2016
Mackenzie Hall Ballroom & Common Ground Art Gallery
3277 Sandwich Street

Common Ground Art Gallery, Media City Film Festival and Momentum Film & Video Collective join forces for a two-day projector performance extravaganza with NY-based, paracinema legend, Bruce McClure.

“Bruce McClure’s film projector is a weapon. Its ammunition is raw light. Darkness is both its adversary and its matrix. Radiant blasts inflame the theatre of perception. The void retaliates. This is a cinema of thunder and lightening.” – OtherFilm

Since 1995 his performances have been presented at festivals and museums around the world including, the Whitney Museum of American Art, International Film Festival Rotterdam, the Wexner Center for the Arts and numerous other venues.
