SHORT FILM SHOWCASE (87 min. )
“SIMON OF THE DESERT” (1965. 60th Anniversary. 45 min.) (Spanish w/ English subtitles) - Luis Bunuel spins a wicked and wild fable of the miracles and temptations of an ascetic who spent his life on top of a pillar. The Devil (Silvia Pinal ) huddles below trying to tempt him down.
“OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE” (1961. 26 min.) Winner of the Palm d ‘ Or at Cannes as well as an Academy Award for Live Action Short Subject. A haunting fever dream based on Ambrose Bierce’s classic short story. A lone Confederate soldier captured by Union troops stands atop a bridge as he awaits his hanging — but suddenly the rope snaps!
“THE DOVE” (DE DÜVA) ( 1968. 15 min.) This Oscar-nominated absurdist satire of Ingmar Bergman’s films marked the film debut of Madeleine Kahn. A retired physicist , while sitting in an outhouse, recalls a garden party he attended as a youth, his badminton game with Death and a defecating dove.
