Presented in cooperation with Gallery Bergen

Complimentary for BFC Members

The artist and filmmaker Gregg Biermann makes sculptural and intellectually playful work that transforms images from Hollywood and other mainstream media. His art is currently featured in an exhibition at Bergen Gallery. A few years ago, Biermann had a near-death calamity in when his heart suddenly stopped. Recovering from an experience that only one in ten people survive, Biermann realized that “death challenges who we think we are and how we tend to think about ourselves.” His engaging and remarkably inventive film Personal Effects (2024, one hour) uses animation, and a wide range of cinematic techniques to illustrate his interior monologue, creating an intimate essay on death, time, the mind and other perplexing philosophical topics. Biermann will present the film, along with his short Quartet for the End (2023, 14 mins.), which creates a kaleidoscopic reworking of a climactic scene from James Cameron’s Titanic.

The screenings will be followed by a conversation with Biermann and Barrymore Film Center film programmer David Schwartz.

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a joyful and wild ride through the tale of the cultural juggernaut that is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. From its humble origins as a London fringe theater play, the documentary tracks its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection to become the biggest cult film of all time. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized – with particular significance for the queer community. In our current political climate, Rocky Horror’s message of inclusion and self expression holds more resonance than ever. As Dr. Frank-N-Furter says, “Don’t Dream It, Be It.”
