Their “Anarchy” shorts category is an attempt to recapture the early spirit of the festival. The casual cinephile might associate the Anarchy program with avant-garde\, transgressive\, or underground cinema. It is all of these things and none of them\, it is an anti-genre\, the form of resistance to dominant cultural paradigms. The films value innovation of form\, violation of taboo\, and disdain for institutional modes of representation. \n7 pm doors open | 7:30 pm screening | Pay-what-you can admission | Free food & drinks \nSUPPORTED BY ARTSMEMPHIS AND THE FIRST TENNESSEE FOUNDATION | ARTSFIRST URL:https://crosstownarts.org/calendar/microcinema-club-slamdance-shorts/ LOCATION:TN CATEGORIES:430,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crosstownarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MicroCinema-Club.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20160712T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20160712T160000 DTSTAMP:20260502T075537 CREATED:20160524T195707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160627T220923Z UID:10002788-1468330200-1468339200@crosstownarts.org SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Film Fest Submission Strategy DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6:30 PM; Panel discussion begins at 7:00 PM\nComplimentary food and beverages will be available \nThere are over 4\,000 film festivals in the world and the options are overwhelming.
