About me:

Volatile Works is a five member film/video/media arts collective that has been active in Montreal, Quebec, since 2003. Our works embrace a range of mediums, genres, and spaces of intervention (from protests to screenings), with a marked affinity for lo-fi/DIY tactical forms of production and engagement. They have appeared in numerous cinema/new media arts festivals (about 150) in over 30 countries around the world. We organize regular screenings and events, and have collaborated with other collectives and bands on community-based screenings, workshops in activist video, and music videos. Practices include digital video, super-8, 16mm, animation, web art, sound, installations, DIY of all kinds. Website: http://www.volatileworks.org

CINEPHOBIA





Sep 27 2008 9:17 AM



CINEPHOBIA (cinephobia) n. 1.
An incapacitating fear of seeing.






2. The dark force that through the cathode ray tube drives the compulsion to consume and conform.






4. The desperate act of sticking one's head up one's own arse to find a better view.






5.
A radio show on CKLN hosted by Stuart Feedback Andrews and his gaggle of Cinephobiacs that irresponsibly plunders the culture of film and television with interviews, reviews, discussions, contests, giveaways and the occasional Gilbert and Sullivan inspired song and dance number.














CINEPHOBIA: Friday afternoons at 2 p.m. EST on CKLN 88.1 FM in Toronto.

GIANT KILLER RATS INVADE TORONTO....

...and Christopher Plummer plunges to his death from the top of the CN Tower while a
fiesty Brenda Vaccaro despatches greasy perverts with merciless abandon.

These are just a few of the tantalising visions we contemplated on the show last
week when Toronto filmmaker and VHS fetishist Jonathan Culp (from the Liason of
Independant Filmmakers of Toronto) came by to discuss the films produced during the
notorious Canadian Tax Shelter Era.

We picked FIVE representative VHS masterpieces that collectively chart a weird,
alternate history of Canadian produced cinema from the early 70's to the mid 80's.

So if you're feeling brave, plunge into this dizzying world of flesh eating rodents
and horny firefighters:

Last week, I had a little chat with Howard Kaylan, lead singer from THE TURTLES (Happy Together) shortly before his arrival in Toronto for the premiere of MY DINNER WITH JIMI, the Kaylan-penned bio-pic which depicts The Turtles' first trip to London, England in 1967.
 
The fateful voyage saw the impressionable amphibians coming face to face with the likes of Brian Jones, Graham Nash, Donovan and Jimi Hendrix for the first time. But perhaps their most memorable encounter (and certainly the most traumatic one for the young, Beatles-wannabe Turtles) was a harrowing run-in with the acid-tongued John Lennon at the legendary London Speakeasy Club.
 
And despite having very little prior knowledge of THE TURTLES, this turned into one of the most enjoyable interviews I've ever done.  I was completely mesmerised by Kaylan's stories and surprised by his unabashed honesty.
 
Check it out:  http://www.idioaudio.com/cinephobia/Kaylan.mp3 
 
Also, this is the first of a series of specific ONLINE versions of CINEPHOBIA.
 
Thanks to the technical ingenuity, pure generosity and moral support from CKLN's David Bachner (host of Sunday's overnight experimental music show: Idio Audio - http://www.idioaudio.com ), CINEPHOBIA has finally entered the 21st century and is now available ON DEMAND. 
 
That means I'll occasionally be uploading some the shows - not all of them - just the good ones. 
 
They'll either cleaned up versions of what gets aired or, in the case of this Howard Kaylan piece, a pre-recorded segment specifically designed for the internet.
 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to Kaylan as much a

CINEPHOBIA





May 12 2007 5:36 AM



So what is CINEPHOBIA anyway?

It's not just a profound dislike of - or a perverse fascination with - the neverending onslaught of horrible cinema.

It's the dreadful state of being overwhelmed by the infernal tapestry of lies which conspire to rip out our eyes and then reproach us for our blindness.

It's the dark force that through the cathode ray tube drives the pathological compulsion to consume and conform.

It's the desperate act of sticking one's head up one's own arse to find a preferable view.

But more than anything, it's the overpowering and paralysing fear of seeing.

So if you suffer from this terrible affliction or you're trying your best to avoid this contagious condition, then join host Stuart Feedback Andrews and his gaggle of miscreant Cinephobiacs as they irresponsibly plunder the culture of film and television with interviews, reviews, discussions, contests, giveaways and the occasional Gilbert and Sullivan inspired song and dance number.

CINEPHOBIA airs every Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. on CKLN 88.1 FM in Toronto.

Listeners outside of the GTA can tune in via the internet at:

www.ckln.fm

Regular contributors include Tim May (CKLN program director), Chris Alexander (Rue Morgue Magazine's Schizoid Cinephile) and the indestructable Kayvon "Superfan" Zahedi (MTV, J.R. Digs show).

Thanks for the Top Friends status - and for regularly keeping an ear on the show.
