It just doesn’t matter!
Cinema Minima Goes to Camp with Meatballs.
Sunday, July 1st at 8pm
Cole’s Bar, 2338 North Milwaukee
free
A classic tale of ragtag misfit campers versus blueblooded elitist campers, Meatballs (1979, Ivan Reitman) is a perennial summertime favorite. As cool camp counselor Tripper Harrison, Bill Murray delivers one of the all-time great movie monologues, a hilarious detailing of the plight of underdogs everywhere, culminating in the chant “IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER! IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!” Boy campers pop boners while spying on girl campers, the camper named Spaz really lives up to his nickname, and the plight of the shy and depressed is given the full Hollywood treatment as Chris Makepeace from “My Bodyguard” plays Rudy, who is taken under Tripper’s wing and slowly comes out of his shell. This is what the Summer of Fun is all about, and if you’re a summertime dude or summertime babe, there is no better way to kick off July than to see this cinematic celebration of the sweatiest season.

I am a conduit for outer forces that infect me vicariously. This work is the physical representation of the images I see in the dark recesses of my mind.

Andrew Hannigan | me@andrewhannigan.com
I work with images of heroes from different periods and in different styles, from Nordic myths to Persian miniatures and Japanese characters from classic and pop culture sources. I am interested in how the various mannerisms and mark making come together from a variety of sources to manifest an idealized yet flawed meta-human. Without any specific narrative, I try to depict a collapsed story that gives form to heroes.

Alan Lerner | albomatic@gmail.com
I approach my life and art as a skeptic, questioning conventional wisdoms and trusting in what is a shifting set of beliefs. My work looks at artiface, theater and contradiction as catalysts toward finding truth. The screen printing medium allows me freedom to pursue the packaged and the moment.

In June, Cinema Minima features guest curation from The Cinema Culture and 3 Minute Movies in an all-out Cinema Explosion. The show will open up with a 33 min presentation of 3 minute movies made for the annual 3MM program. Then Cinema Culture will present the off kilter knee slapping feature film “The Funny Things You Do” by Jason Ogawa. Following is a live performance by Th’ Tarnation Boys performing music from the film.
Cinema Minima Cinema Explosion
Curated by The Cinema Culture and 3 Minute Movies
Sunday, June 3
Cole’s Bar, 2338 N. Milwaukee

About the curators:
The Cinema Culture promotes and exhibits the work of film and video artist through tours, special events, and exclusive shows. TCC was founded by Amir George in 2007. TCC has collaborated with several film clubs and organizations including Chicago Filmmakers, and CIMM Fest. The Cinema Culture exists to create an outlet for film and video makers outside of the normal festival circuit. This year TCC will be premiering a locally based program “Avant Garde Remixed” at the NXNE Film & Music festival in Toronto as well as embarking on two bi-coastal experimental video tours through November.
3 Minute Movies (3MM) was created to act as a hub for filmmakers and like-minded individuals to produce short films, screen their creations, and connect with other artists. 3MM is about the participants involved, not the audience. 3MM is not a film festival. 3MM is a collective consisting of Chris Batte, Tara Zanzig and Neil Potter. They believe filmmaking is an collaborative endeavor. to swim against the current of its nature is a fool’s errand. working with a partner takes you in new directions, teaches you things along the way, produces better results, and let’s be honest here, it lessens the load. 3MM’s intention is to bring together folks from different worlds and disciplines. it’s for pros. it’s for amateurs. it’s for students. it’s for chemical engineers who have long admired Kubrick and are inspired to go shoot something. it’s for all of us. Every other month they assign a theme for filmmakers to create a 3 minute film about. 3MM screens their movies at Rodan in Wicker Park.
About the Feature Film:
The Funny Things You Do: Red-blooded redheads are hard up for cash. Each day they must roam the surreal American back country in search of funds and fun. Their story unfolds, deconstructs, and crumbles in Holler County, U.S.A.

Director Jason S. Ogawa is a Japanese American experimental artist. His fascination with video recording began with skateboard movies shot on VHS. This curiosity was encouraged throughout his career in Chicago Public Schools. Jason earned a BFA in Moving Image from the University of Illinois at Chicago. In the same year, he also completed his first feature-length movie, “The Funny Things You Do.” His artwork is often intertwined with Chicago’s underground music community. He performs in the sword metal band Galdron. Jason lives, works, records, and performs in Chicago.
