This is so hot, you could cook eggs on it…and I ain’t talking about the weather.

Head Trauma
Saturday, July 14, 6:30 PM at the Museum of the Moving Image
New York Premiere. Directed by Lance Weiler. With DJ Chief Wreck’em and The Quavers.

In this innovative and playfully unsettling interactive multimedia event, the story of a drifter who returns to his grandmother’s abandoned house is brought to life in a collision of movies, music, gaming, and theatrics. Characters emerge from the audience, the DJ provides a live soundtrack, and your mobile phone becomes a cinematic gaming device. Followed by a discussion with the filmmaker.

Preceded by Ray Harryhausen Presents: The Pit and The Pendulum (2006, 7 mins., video. Directed by Marc Lougee.) This stop-motion short reinterprets Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale. Tickets: $12 Museum members/$18 non-members.
