Screen o Series (S.o.S.): Medium Cool + mystery short

Screen o Series (S.o.S.). is a bi-monthly film screening and fundraising series hosted by Greyory Blake, Masina Frank, and Yōsuke Araki. The hosts trade off selecting a feature (max 2hr) and a short (max 30m). Pay what you will. All proceeds go to a rotating set of causes that befit thematic or pressing/relevant needs. 

“For our first screening, Grey selected Medium Cool (1969), a story about an idiot who tries, but fails, to recognize the affective distance gaps of daily media intervention. Set and filmed during the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests, it's a strangely paced and oddly poetic virité blurring of reality and fiction. Let's ‘bad vibe’ in a cool basement on small, personal tragedies overshadowed by an atmosphere of social unrest within an intricately complicated pressure cooker. It's as equally invigorating as it is heartbreaking — as perplexingly muddled as it is achingly profound. In short, Medium Cool is life itself.”
