A Festival of Rare and Hard to See Films
Organized by Aaron Rose
January 16 – February 20, 2010
Opening Reception Saturday, January 16th, 6 to 9pm
Roberts & Tilton is pleased to present Projections, a festival of rare and hard to see films
organized by Aaron Rose. Opening on Saturday, January 16th and running through February 20,
2010, Projections will feature short and feature length films by 31 of the most influential
filmmakers of our time.

Statement from Projections Organizer Aaron Rose:
There are few things that move people as much as seeing a great film. As the organizer of
this festival I use the term "film" loosely here as I do the word "festival", because in this
context, I do not necessarily refer only to feature films. In fact some of the most inspiring
films I've ever seen have been under five minutes long. Projections is a celebration of these
types of works. While the focus of this collection is mostly on young filmmakers, I have also
chosen to include some masters from the past who, for many reasons, have created things
that have moved me in some way. Additionally, it is my hope that by removing all these films
from their usual theatrical setting, and instead presenting them in an art gallery context, that
people will perhaps look at them a little differently. Not just as entertainment, but as the
works of true artists, who contribute greatly to the visual culture of our times.

My films are showing on February 13th...the day before Valentine's Day. 
much love and Happy Holidays!

Girls On Film


This Friday November, 20th  at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, CA
Daisies (1966)
A satirical, wild, irreverent story of teenage rebellion, Vera Chytilova's 'Daisies' is one of the Czech New Wave's standount moments. The women's anarchic antics are mirrored by the film's wildly free-associative montages, psychedelic color and effects and an overriding impression of gleeful anarchy. Few so-called art movies are this much fun.
With short films and videos by- Maximilla Lukacs and Sarah Sophie Flicker ( The Belles of the Black Diamond Field), Jess Holzworth, Nicole McDonald, Melissa auf der Maur and Ashley Conner.
*Please note the discounted rate and code! Call the hotel rather than book through expedia, etc.
(760)325-9900
CODE: DRAWPIC09

The Ritual is Reality

From todays Magic Lecture I  learned the following...
The weather inside is  like the weather outside...
neurons

hurricane

galaxy

There is weather inside of our brains and bodies and the way to make it rain is to undestand how the universe operates and therefore become sympathetic to it. Becoming one with our Earth and our Universe is the way to gain shamanic power. Meaning that accepting that you and a storm are one and being able to be entagled and sympathetic with that storm allows you control over it because there is no separartion between you and it.  Clearly this is the goal of mankind. Why do we see ourselves as being separate from everything when everything is so connected?
But Stevie already knew all this... she's always been a storm...

Thank you Maja !
