Jim Finn and Arthur Jones came to town from Chicago with a new collection of work.
"Jim Finn's films are collages of his home videos, excerpts from TV and Hollywood movies
and found footage, and are about love, politics and his pets. His latest series of shorts,
entitled "La Lotera," is a group of experimental music videos loosely based on Mexican
Lotera bingo cards. Also included is his three-minute cult classic "wustenspringmaus"
a homage to the most capitalist of rodents, the gerbil. Arthur Jones is touring his newest
work, "Monster Team," a 17 minute animation that looks like a standard Saturday morning
children's cartoon, but dwells on adult themes like depression, apathy, and emotional
paralysis. As a part of the program Jones will show some of his other animated shorts and
personally present an illustrated power point presentation (on post-it notes).
