Who are those guys? Poets or something? I always see them around coffeeshops…no laptops…weird…are they artists? Philosophers?…They seem like they must be around 40...

Reveries and its follow-up Reveries: Going Deeper are comedy tome poems/visual albums/experimental films revolving around two mysterious drifters who never speak but whose inner monologues carry us across a landscape of absurdist one-liners, surreal stories, and stream-of-consciousness musings. Backed by a dreamy original score and hallucinogenic montages created from camcorder footage shot over the course of years all around the world, Reveries is a singular, unclassifiable experience at the intersection of alt comedy, internet video art, and underground weirdo cinema.

A Night at EZTV

A series of film shorts, clips & performances à la EZTV

Saturday, March 29, 2025 - 7:30pm

 

A Night at EZTV

Saturday, March 29th 2025

Doors open 7pm, show begins 7:30

$15 General Admission / $12 VPES Members

In this one-night-only event, join us as we transport you to a hypothetical evening at West Hollywood’s EZTV Video Gallery circa the mid 1980s. Opened in 1983, the EZTV Video Gallery was a production studio and one of the world’s first video microcinemas. Home to some of LA’s most adventurous programming, a typical night at the theater might include a mix of video art, low-budget horror, political documentaries, queer video, and performance art of every kind. In this program, you’ll see a little bit of all of the above, plus long-unseen interstitials from the EZTV archives for what is sure to be a night at the movies unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before—unless you were there, which you probably weren’t.

With EZTV Founding Member and Director Michael J. Masucci in person.

This event is part of Video Capital of the World: 45 Years of EZTV in L.A. an expansive week-long screening and performance series programmed by Elizabeth Purchell and Hollywood Entertainment.

The series honors both the diverse range of artists, videomakers, and communities that have found a home at Los Angeles’s EZTV over the course of its first 45 years of existence and the global influence that it has had on the development of video, digital, and performance art. Featuring a wide range of unique events at REDCAT, Brain Dead Studios, Whammy! Analog Media, 18th Street Arts Center, the Velaslavasay Panorama, Los Angeles Filmforum, and online, Video Capital of the World: 45 Years of EZTV in L.A. is a first-of-its-kind tribute to a still under-understood L.A. institution.
