FREE EVENT. @1minworld (One Minute World) is a video song cycle that features original animations and live musical performance. The music is performed live alongside the video projection.
The first half of the performance is made up of 15 intentionally brief one-minute video songs. @1minworld’s primary-colored bubblegum visuals contrast the songs’ content which explore the discontents of our social media age: filter bubbles, surveillance capitalism, and shortened attention spans, to name a few. The second half of the performance, by contrast, features one long meditative video song equal in length to the entire first half, creating a space for the audience to experience time in a different way.

Tickets $15. Featuring pre-show comedy set prior to the film. Say you saw it first! This crowd-funded feature premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, before being pulled from subsequent planned screenings due to “rights issues.” Featuring director Vera Drew as a law-breaking comedian who is grappling with her gender identity, forming a new anti-comedy troupe with a friend, and finding herself battling a fascistic caped crusader, the film unofficially parodies characters from the Batman comics. The People’s Joker features a supporting cast of comedy legends, including Scott Aukerman, Tim Heidecker, Maria Bamford, and Bob Odenkirk.

Tickets $15. The Indigo Girls have been producing game-changing queer folk-rock for the past 40 years. Celebrate the outstanding legacy of the band and the women behind it with this exciting new documentary. Local songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anna Diem will perform an acoustic set of originals and Indigo Girls songs before the film. With four decades of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily—alongside decades of the band’s home movies and intimate present-day vérité.
