The Sky is clear, but we’re in a fog. So are the kids, the blond ones who drifted ashore. Unspecified disaster, parents awash or sunken, oh there is trouble at every turn. Trees to climb, pitfalls to elude. And what of their inverse doppelgangers, equally as naked and lost? It's a matter of sticking together, he has come for them, as if they willed him to life. The youngest, with the curly locks, he must be especially careful. No one is safe, not even the donkey on this sunny day turned grey, this good trip gone bad. Sure, the sand is magic, but what has it wrought?
What may be an unfinished Christian children's adventure film from a Nashville producer with real estate interests. Two sizable reels of 16mm film, multiple 3-minute camera reels assembled in rough order by someone else long ago. Completely uncut, mistakes and retakes included. Structure and narrative alluded, shuffled.
All Magic Sands is presented by Andy Lampert with a live soundtrack by Alan Licht. Licht is also exhibiting in Frenz.
Able Brown's comedic stylings will include odd observations of nature and semi-scientific facts. Brown's work is also included in the exhibition.
Meg Baird & Greg Weeks have collaborated for years as members of Philadelphia's foremost psych-rock group, Espers.
