1. "DARWIN"At the Images Festival

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 11 PM

Polish Combatants Hall,

206 Beverly at Cecil

TORONTO

We kick off this insanely productive month with a new movie! "Darwin" was produced for the most excellent Images Festival's "One Take Super 8" event, which means that I haven't even seen it yet - edited in camera, all 25 films get their first-ever run through a projector at this screening. Let's just say that mine involves giant Galapagos tortoises and unnatural sex acts. If that doesn't hook you I don't know what will.

Be there!

More details on this and other screenings available at http://www.imagesfestival.com/ .

2. TORONTO ANARCHIST ASSEMBLY

SATURDAY APRIL 10 - SUNDAY APRIL 11

Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil at Beverly

TORONTO

Spending a lot of time at this intersection this month! Here's your first chance to grab that choice Satan Macnuggit merch in 2010. I'll be tabling my highly coveted zines and DVDs, plus all kinds of goodies from the fine folks at Microcosm Publishing, from 10:30-3 on Saturday and from 10:30-5 on Sunday. There will also be a whole bunch of wicked workshops and fun stuff all weekend,including Friday which I'll miss. Everything you need to know is at http://torontoanarchistassembly.blogspot.com/ .

3. "REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED"

At In The Soil

SATURDAY APRIL 17 - 8 PM

On the wall of the former Russell Hotel (corner of St. Paul & James Sts)

ST. CATHARINES

Yet another premiere. "Reproduction Prohibited" is a collaboration between myself and composer Monica Clorey, constructed from hundreds of cut-and-paste manipulated frames from ancient phys ed film strips. Magnified, distorted and animated, these wrestling and swimming scenes morph into a perverse ballet in tandem with Monica's electro-acoustic score. This free outdoor screening is part of In The Soil - Niagara's Homegrown Arts Festival, which highlights a ton of local artists and musicians in events throughout the month. You can see thefull lineup at http://www.inthesoil.on.ca/ !

* * * * *

4, "JACOB TWO-TWO"

FRIDAY APRIL 23 - 9:30 PM

At Trash Palace - secret location!

TORONTO

This week marks the start of a brand new season at Toronto's Classiest Cinema, and my first contribution is yet another Canadian classic - a wondrously cheap, deliriously kinky adaptation of Mordecai Richler's legendary kids book about nice little boys being kidnapped and taken to a fantastic slave camp by a fish guy, a chicken lady, and a wimpy masked wrestler. It's really great. In addition to our ongoing "Captain America" serial (come this week for episode one!) I'll also be throwing in "Ramona's Bad Day", a 16mm print of the 80s TV show starring an impossibly tiny Sarah Polley! And yes, I am still clinging doggedly to the pretense that Trash Palace's address is a secret - tickets are available at Eyesore Cinema, 801 Queen St. West, and the address is printed thereon. The full rundown on our greatest season yet (and I'm serious) is at http://www.trashpalace.ca/ .

5. KAZOO ZINE FAIR

SATURDAY APRIL 24 - 11 AM - 3 PM

Ed Video,

40 Baker Street

GUELPH

Guelph's only zine fair is presented as part of the Kazoo! fest, a five-day orgy of music and art. We are promised "guest speakers, lots of zines, workshops, cupcakes, and hopefully some hula-hooping." Plus of course, Satan Macnuggit and Microcosm Publishing, courtesy of yours truly!

SATAN MACNUGGIT NEWS:

Here's the October news bulletin for Ontario video artist Jonathan Culp and his Satan Macnuggit productions.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVV

[Satanm-announce] October news - Trash Palace x 2!‏:
SATAN MACNUGGIT NEWS

OCTOBER 2009

* * * * *

September was a super-busy month in Satanville. The GSS Video Yearbook DVD debuted to raves, a mere 20 years after its VHS edition shocked the nation. Order your copy now before they're gone!

And the Trash On Wheels Film Party is a wrap! Seven very well-received shows rocked the regions from London to Montreal to Picton, and everyone who showed up had a great time. I never get tired of watching this stuff; let's do it again soon!

Lots in the works - zine fair season kicks into overdrive in November! - but for now, we're settling back into Toronto in style, with two big screenings at Trash Palace!

Friday, October 2 - A STAR IS LOST!

This 1974 film is a mind-boggling attempt by the National Film Board to produce a "Singin' in the Rain" style razzle-dazzle musical. Directed by John Howe (he also wrote the songs), a ton of showbiz glamour and glitter is given an almost cinema-verite treatment; the resulting concoction will make your head spin!

Friday, October 16 - THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE

Another Canadian film, Nicholas Gessner's 1977 opus is a minor classic, and a staple of 80s TV (however tonight's print is UNCUT). Jodie Foster plays a kid who lives alone with a secret in the basement, until the landlord's son - a creepy turn by Martin Sheen - starts making the moves on her. To round off this screening, we're including an incredible rarity, Sheen's extremely early (1961?1962?), Brandoesque turn as a juvenile delinquent in one of the most genuinely well-made educational films I've ever seen - "The Price Of A Life".

As usual these here flicks screen at 9:30 at Trash Palace's SECRET CINEMA - buy advance tickets at Eyesore Cinema, 801 Queen Street West, and the address is on the ticket. More info on our nefarious doings is available at www.trashpalace.ca .

See you there!

SEPTEMBER 2009

1. Trash On Wheels Film Party - 6 shows!

2. GSS VIDEO YEARBOOK - 20th Anniversary DVD!

* * * * *

1. THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY

Sept 10-26 - shows in Hamilton, St. Catharines, Ottawa, Kingston, Montreal and London!! (local info below)

Trash Palace - "Toronto's Classiest Cinema" - is proud to present THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY – a back-to-school touring show of classroom films, cartoons and more from the files of Canada's most demented film fanatics!

Hosted by Trash Palace programmer Jonathan Culp, TRASH ON WHEELS brings a full evening of lost, forgotten and undiscovered gems from the celluloid dumpsters of our nation to your town. Armed with their trusty 16mm film projector, a trunkload of film reels from the 60s and 70s, cold drinks, and a fully stocked snack bar (including handmade vegan truffles from Boardwalk Chocolates!) Trash Palace will give you a taste of the madness that we've been dishing out at our home base for over two years.

With a constantly changing lineup of titles - partially selected by the audience via the "Trash Palace Applause-O-Meter" - every screening is a whole new ballgame. Will you see angry puppets smacking around their friends? Evil dancing cigarettes? Washed up pop stars ranting about LSD? Christian college students partying with the Virgin Mary? Animated sex ed lessons? Or masked headmasters wielding lawnmowers?

This is no stinkin' film festival - it's THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY!

TRASH PALACE, named "the 11th best place to watch a film in Toronto" by Blog TO, shows shorts and features every Friday at their secret location. The Toronto Star writes, "It lives up to its seamy potential...the fun is pure, untainted by cynicism, high expectations or irony."

And the National Post observes,"Trash Palace's screenings promise the best in films that somebody out there was desperate to get rid of."

2. UNBELIEVABLE ARCHIVAL DVD!

GRIMSBY SECONDARY SCHOOL

1989 VIDEO YEARBOOK

20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Just in time for school kiddies - and even though anyone visible in this DVD has long since graduated (I hope!!), we can all recall the dread. And now, you can SEE it as well!

This hour-long video (available for the FIRST TIME on DVD) captures the student life of Grimsby, Ontario at a remote but resonant historical moment - the 1988-89 school year.

It's the first movie I ever made, and it's still watchable, funny, and highly evocative whether you were there or not!

In gritty, unpredictable fashion, this volume delivers the stuff of yearbooks past, present and future - sports, drama, music, familiar faces, telling personal details of every sort. And then it goes further:

YOUR yearbook never had a 'smoking up at the school dance' section. Or a questionable juxtaposition of pacifist Remembrance Day speech with various students beating each other up. Or a 'people saying inexplicable things' montage. There's a surprise around every corner folks.

But where the hell is 'Grimsby', and is it any more obscure than 'Balgonie'. The 'Saskatchewan Perfume' used to be named 'Evening in Balgonie', and you can guess what it smelled like.

JUNE NEWS FROM SATAN MACNUGGIT:



It's a new month, and summer has yet to arrive here on the frigid prairies. Yet, down Ontario way things are hot on the video scene. Here's the June newsletter from Jonathan Culp's Satan MacNuggit video art project.
@@@@@@@@@@
[Satanm-announce] NEWS - JUNE 2009‏:
SATAN MACNUGGIT
at TRASH PALACE
TWO SHOWS THIS MONTH!
FRIDAY JUNE 5 - BEST OF CLASSROOM FILMS!
For the first time! All of the TP programmers share the best from every previous educational short night! You'll see: Your Clothes Can Burn! Don't Stay Mad! Red Light Green Light! Drug films! Driver's ed films! 'A Day in the Life Of...'films! ...and much much more!




Get your tickets early - this show will sell out fast.
FRIDAY JUNE 19 - FIREBIRD 2015 AD
Continuing my series of presentations from Canada's Tax Shelter era, this one is about a time in the not-so-distant future where government tyranny has made it a crime to drive. But deep in the wastes of Drumheller, Kolchak himself, Darren McGavin, is drivin' up a storm, to the dismay of the authorities. canuxploitation.com evokes the film's vision of a future where 'People still drive slick sports cars, and have CB radios in their dune buggys...will have you calling everybody "good buddy" for days.'




imdb users rave:
"This is both a thinking man's piece, and a movie with action. The characters present an upside. One of the best movies of this genre."
''it does sport some fine Alberta Badlands scenery.''
"oh gee, it's The Dukes of Hazzard meets 1984''
"during the ho-hum race scenes, I kept on expecting Batman himself to drive by, flipping everyone the finger.''
"Doug McClure doesn't even bother to phone in his performance--he submits it by Morse code.''
"why are there roads if there are no cars?"




Don't miss a second of the excitement!
Buy your tickets today!
At... EYESORE CINEMA
801 Queen St. W. (above Rotate This)
The location of Trash Palace is STILL a secret!
The address is printed on the ticket...it's not far! ;)

Elliot Gouldis caught up in a 'deadly game of cat and mouse' with psycho bank robber Christopher Plummer; John Candy also turns up as a nebbish Eaton Centre bankteller. Written by Curtis "L. A. Confidential" Hanson; directed by Daryl Duke.Plus: episode three of "The Mysterious Dr. Satan"!!

1. NEW ZINE!
Satan Macnuggit proudly presents "Cinertia #1". Subtitled "My Year in Movies",this zine features JC's withering commentary on whatever cinematic goodies passed his way last year.




Over ninety reviews, with tons of pictures and a special bonus essay at the end!




Plus, for a limited time only, a SECRET BONUS DVD.




You can just picture JC leaning back at his desk and smoking a cigar:




Sweeney Todd - "every time someone utters a note everything freezes dead and it's a cue to get up for popcorn/the crapper."
Murder Party - "the script's stabs at character development need to be improved or abandoned, and rather than surprising us with alternating funny-scary it sometimes sits too long in the middle."
Lola Montes - "the toil of the film-making efforts end up deflecting attention from Lola herself - maybe Martine Carol isn't up for the job like everyone says, but more importantly all that metaphor stuff seems to crowd out time she could use to draw us in."
$6 each.

2. JONATHAN CULP PRESENTS

MOUNTIE DOUBLE BILL!

AT TRASH PALACE

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6

DOORS 8:30 - FILM 9:30

SECRET LOCATION

$5

For months now I've been regaling Trash Palace with samples of the OTHER Canadian cinema - the cheesy cash grabs (and genuine artistic successes) of our notorious 'tax shelter' era. Well for this special double bill, I am reaching back even farther, to the original 'commercial' Canadian films, which were in fact not really Canadian at all! I refer of course to the 'Mountie movies' of the 30s, which amount to Westerns on a broken compass...replacing noble Northerners for the good guys and unwashed 'half-breeds' for the baddies!

RENFREW OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED (1937) leads the bill, and is a riotous quickie (in every sense - it clocks in at under an hour). This tale of valor on horseback features good ol' Renfrew jumping out of a plane, pitching woo, and eventually busting some no-good pseudo-Metis who are smuggling counterfeit across the border in - what else - blocks of ice! (How Canadian can you get?)

This Martian's-eye view of our home and native land was a favourite whipping boy for front page pothead Pierre Berton, who found fault with everything from the headgear ("Renfrew appears to be wearing a slouch hat") to the mise-en-scene ("The entire troop of them gallops up to the picnic grounds on horseback singing at the top of their voices"). So if you usually come to Trash Palace for history lessons, steer clear! But if you're looking for something to laugh at, you've got your man.

We then jump ahead almost 40 years to a different breed of mountie - George Segal, slouching through a Vancouver that is almost as seedy as Skip Tracer, in RUSSIAN ROULETTE (1975).

This one is actually a real hoot, thanks to director Lou Lombardo who cut his teeth as editor for the great Robert Altman and Sam Peckinpah! You get lots of wicked deadpan humour and layering (and layering) of subplots to go with the geopolitics - Canadians of this era seem to have been even more obsessed with the Soviet Union than the Yanks, no doubt thanks to that commie Trudeau. You may not know what the hell is going on, but you'll sure have fun trying to figure it out!

Imdb sez:

"Stirring and heart-thumping"

"A tour de force of slick editing and exciting music"

"Hilarious...a wealth of talent involved"

"Engaging and quirky"

So - a very special Trash-fest, two great movies for the price of one, plus the usual 'cold drinks,' hot dogs, popped corn, candy, merch, and yummies from our in-house chocolatier!

Advance tix $5 at Eyesore Cinema, 801 Queen St. West (above Rotate This). Secret location, as always - the address is printed on the ticket, along with a handy map on how to get there! (It's a short walk from the ticket location...)

LES ROSE'S "GAS" (1981)

AT TRASH PALACE

FRIDAY, JANUARY 9

DOORS 8:30 - FILM 9:30

SECRET LOCATION

$5

We continue our infiltration of the most excellent Trash Palace with a movie that will haunt you long after the lights come up - the Canadian Tax Shelter monstrosity "Gas"!

What do I have to tell you to make you believe that this movie is a masterpiece? That it's the first film ever to feature Howie Mandel, and he's second-billed ? What more do you need ? How about Dan Aykroyd's brother Pete? Or the worst Donald Sutherland role of all time, as a disc jockey named Nick the Noz ? Perhaps you'll take a plot involving a gas shortage brought on by stolen milk ? Can I sell you on an array of gross racial stereotypes with names like GuidoVespucci, Lee Kwan and Fawsi Ibn Fawsi ? Would you believe a HALF HOUR car chase ? With cardboard English street signs taped on to the Montreal originals ??

>From the director of "Hog Wild"?!?!

Aww, some people are never satisfied. Well maybe I can win you over with some glowing reviews from imdb...let's see now... "A movie to forget!" "If you want bad, this is your movie!" "Sloppy, idiotic, severely witless and desperate!" "I still kick myself for the night I visited the multiplex and chose this thing over "Arthur!"" "This incoherent waste of someone's ability to raise funds!" "I found myself actually looking FORWARD to the commercials!" "To be avoided, this movie bites!" "Everyone who appeared in this one is a bad, bad person!" "Worst film of all time, bar none!"

In other words, my friends: this movie was MADE for Trash Palace! Be there.

Advance tix $5 at Tequila Bookworm, 512 Queen West!

The Trash Palace address is printed on the ticket, along with a handy map on how to get here! (It's a short walk from the ticket location...)

'Cold drinks,' hot dogs, popped corn, candy, merch...and Boardwalk Chocolates, Siue Moffat's brand new vegan fair trade organic orgy of yumminess!

RED SHIFT

AT THE 8 FEST

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 9 PM

AT TRASH PALACE (see above)

COST TBA

Red Shift (2009, 40 minutes)

Super 8 collage

with live accompaniment by Picastro (Liz Hysen, Nick Storring, Brandon Valdivia)

In this long piece commissioned specially for this year’s 8 Fest, filmmaker Jonathan Culp creates a hypnotic, rhythmic collage of commercially produced Super 8 material. Cutting between faded Eastman color industrial films,classroom-film curios, and Hollywood imagery old and new, the pictures interlock with the haunting semi-acoustic dissonances of local band Picastro, performing live with the film. Red Shift is a slowly disintegrating nightmare of utilitarian media gone wrong.

Presented as part of THE 8 FEST (January 30-February 2) Now in its second year, this is Canada's only film festival dedicated to exhibiting work on small gauge film. It's a lot of fun. Find out more atwww.the8fest.com, or join the soon-to-be-resuscitated Facebook group at:

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT SATAN MACNUGGIT:

Jonathan Culp, the radical video artist and human behind Satan MacNuggit, according to his newsletter entered 2008 with "vows of unfettered productivity". All the best to him. Seems that his collected DVDs, including Recap, Trigger Cut, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, It can Happen Here and Be a Cog, are now all available from the website noted above. Jonathan is also the coordinator for the winter season workshops held by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), and a complete listing of their upcoming workshop schedule is available at http://LIFT.on.ca . So if you're in the area of TO and are interested in independent video production be sure to check it out. Speaking of workshops Jonathan will also be giving a presentation on "video activism" at the Blackwood Gallery (U. of T. at Mississauga) on friday, February 8. See the galleries outreach coordinator, Susanne Carte-Blanchenot at 905-828-3789. Lots of stuff if you live in the TO area.
