Reminder: Radical Form and Content: The Scenic Route



Greetings Soldiers and Cinephiles,

This is a reminder about Shooting Wall's screening on Tuesday Feb, 21st at 7pm of Mark Rappaport's The Scenic Route. The event will be held at Girard Hall (527 W. Girard Ave) and is completely free and open to the public! There will be a Shooting Wall short film before the movie and free beer! Rappaport is one of the most interesting and unfairly neglected American filmmakers, so come and check out one of his best films tomorrow night. 

Also, a reminder of our talk on Tuesday Feb. 28th at the Wooden Shoe. The talk will focus on Radial Form and Content; we will offer a brief history of film theory and radical cinema. This talk will also be completely free and starts at 7. 

We hope to see everyone at these events!

Issue 4: Shooting Wall Zine


It's finally here! No, not our official statement on the death of pop legend Whitney Houston, but ISSUE 4 of our film zine! In Issue 4 we are bringing you the most relevant and real time analysis, theory, and instruction from our top films of 2011 to a piece on how to light your films on the cheap without sacrificing style. We hope that you will find this to be a diverse issue with some real time and pratical advice about how to get your films made and where and how to see the best that is being made.

We welcome your feedback and as always we are looking for contributors for future issues.
