For all you lovers of the rock, we kindly bring to you the second installment of powerhouse music and supersized imagery. It's CINEMA ROCKS! An evening where film and music make sweet love Hand-picked, home-grown films will slap you on the hand and kiss you in the face throughout the night. And leading the auditory revolution will be none other than Seattle darlings AUTOMATON. So grab a beer, and come down for this celebration of loud film and anti-career advancement. Tonight's screening is presented in conjunction with the Seattle Satellites Festival, a multi-venue, multi-participant celebration of year round indie media culture.

AUTOMATON - musical performance
Not only a band, these audionauts mine social fact and science fiction, processing the bits into capsules of highly-concentrated Chomsky-rock that confirm your feelings of dislocation while giving you a gleam of hope for the future. Check out www.radio-optik.com for more propaganda.

PIMPY - narrative video
Pimpy is the story of an odd, but pleasant young man. Set in Seattle during the 1980's (before the days of EMP), a father and son struggle to leave behind the joys of clothesline-dancing and chocolate syrup addiction.

FIST PUMPIN' SHORTS - what it sounds like
Chicks with chainsaws seek revenge in Scalp, heavy metal gods pump iron in Triathalon, and lite-brite disco barbies will win your heart in What Boys Want.. These are just a few of the fine films screening throughout the evening.

Seattle's longest running Open Screening. Bring your tapes on VHS cued up and ready to go. No longer than 10 minutes please.

Daughters of the Revolution Hall

Sometime in the future. An urban tribe of technopagans practice their ecstatic rites in a high-powered Virtual Reality called Tragos. During one of their immersion rituals, a tribal member assimilates into the virtual realm and dies, all the while remaining conscious inside the program. Meanwhile, back in the real world, a witch hunt ensues as a fundamentalist prosecutor scapegoats the tribe and their leader as "a satanic suicide cult" in this harrowing, hilarious caper fraught with strange loops and twisted redemption.

"Tragos is an intellectual adrenaline rush of hypnotic strength and emotional depth which demands your brainpower and full attention. It is a complex and towering work that aims to the highest denominator and pays off in a triumph of spirit." - Phil Hall, Filmthreat Magazine
