Before settling into their new home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Light Industry presents this screening of the classic TV special from 1967 This Is Marshall McLuhan: The Medium Is the Massage. The special will be projected in 16mm and introduced by Alex Kitnick, a writer and curator based in New York.
This Is Marshall McLuhan: The Medium Is the Massage was produced for the radical TV series NBC Experiment in Television, which aired innovative programs on Sunday afternoons, typically profiling or spotlighting a particular creative individual.
This particular episode of the show was directed by Ernest Pintoff and tries its best to present McLuhan’s complex ideas of then-modern media to a broad audience. Light Industry describes the special as thus:

Before I give the screening info, a brief note about Light Industry, which is no longer located in Brooklyn. I don’t have any details on the shutdown of their 177 Livingston Street location, but founders Thomas Beard and Ed Halter plan on setting up a new permanent location somewhere in January 2011. Until then, Light Industry screenings will take place at various locations around NYC beginning with this one at the esteemed Anthology Film Archives. And it’s a doozy!
This is a true grindhouse double-feature by sexploitation auteur Stephanie Rothman. Student Nurses (1970) will screen at 7:00 p.m. and Terminal Island (1973) will screen at 9:00 p.m. While these films provide lots of jiggly action that soft-core film aficionados crave, they also come with a surprising amount serious-minded political drama.

What better way to spend Election Night than watching classic campaign ads and a political documentary? That is, what better way after you’ve actually gone out and voted. You’re going to vote, right? You better!
Plus, after tonight’s screenings, David Bushman of the Paley Center for Media and investigative reporter Danny Schechter will lead a panel discussion on the “evolution of political media language.”
As for the screenings, it seems that every year politician TV ads get more and more mean-spirited and deceptive. But, is that really the case?
UnionDocs and Cinebeasts have collected a treasure trove of classic campaign ads that reach all the way back to Eisenhower. Some of the better well-known ads that will screen are ’70s Coke commercials that featured Richard Nixon as a punchline and Ronald Reagan’s famous — or infamous,...

Hosted by: Light Industry
Restless nurses! Lovesick sheriffs! Sexed-up Girl Scout leaders! Lonely motel managers! And other degenerates populate George Kuchar’s early ’70s mock-Hollywood soap opera, The Devil’s Cleavage.
Ainslie Pryor stars as Nurse Ginger, who is stuck married to a total slob, so she takes to cheating on her hubby with anybody she cans. Eventually, she leaves home and becomes the object of obsession of a seedy Oklahoma motel manager played by Kuchar compatriot Curt McDowell.
The Devil’s Cleavage is one of Kuchar’s rare feature-length outings. The film is credited by its distributor, Canyon Cinema, as having been completed in 1973. While the film may have had screenings in that year and in 1974, it gained a wider release in 1975, perhaps to capitalize on the success of Thundercrack! the semi-pornographic cult comedy directed by McDowell and written and starring Kuchar.

Back in 1977, Anthony Ramos created About Media, a deconstruction of the evening news that focuses on President Jimmy Carter granting amnesty to Vietnam War draft dodgers as well as Ramos’ own stint serving time for conscientious objection. For his “crime,” Ramos was incarcerated for 18 months.
The video compares Ramos’ unedited interview footage, which shows a patronizing attitude and line of questioning by reporter Gabe Pressman and his crew, with the final report that eventually made it onto the news. The goal of the piece is to break down the illusion of the news’ alleged objective approach to storytelling.
At the time, criticism of the media from the left was something of a rarity. While the right had long complained about the mainstream media’s alleged “liberal bias,” About Media shows how the news skews...
