Dirty Looks: Tom Rhoads (Luther Price)
Tuesday, March 26 2013, 19h
The Kitchen
512 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011
Luther Price in attendance

Tom Rhoads was one of the artistic alter egos of Boston filmmaker Luther Price, whose films were recently described in the New York Times as "entrancingly delicate, implicitly violent works, [where] life, chance, obsessive art making and an intense artistic psyche... flashes before your eyes." Before his infamous film Sodom (1989), Price invented different personae, living these roles in order to execute a breadth of artistic projects. Tom Rhoads marked his first foray into filmmaking. An infantile psyche in the body of an adult, Rhoads was the vessel for some of the artist's most introspective and psychodramatic films. Working in the small-gauge Super 8 format, Rhoads' projects are visceral explorations of trauma, "home movies from hell," repetitive explosions of personal memory and familial guilt. "A nice guy," Price describes Rhoads as the kind of man, "who would buy you an ice cream cone." Tom Rhoads is dead. Long live Luther Price.

Programme:
- Green (Super 8, 30 min., 1988)
- Mr. Wonderful (Super 8, 10 min., 1988)
- Warm Broth (Super 8, 36 min., 1987/88)

White Light Cinema Presents
Gate Shock: New and Rare Films by Luther Price
With Luther Price in Person!
Saturday, September 17, 2011, 19h
The Nightingale
1084 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, Illinois


White Light Cinema is pleased to present the second program (we must like him!) of work by acclaimed experimental filmmaker Luther Price this year – this time with Price in person, to introduce and discuss his work.

For more than twenty-five years, Boston-area filmmaker has been creating a raw and visceral body of work that challenges, infuriates, shocks, fascinates, and, sometimes, soothes viewers who have think they’ve seen it all.

His is a gritty cinema: initially made in the intimate Super-8 format and now mostly in 16mm. It is a handcrafted cinema, with dozens of splices (which seem to want to fly apart at any moment), decayed and distressed footage (buried in the ground), and hand-painted frames (which shed a fine dust when projected).

What is life without the living?
Thursday October 21st, 20h
NP Contemporary Art Center
131 Chrystie Street, New York, NY 10003-2813

Two experimental queer works will inaugurate the new media room at NP Contemporary Art Center on Thursday, Oct. 21st, 2010. The title, ‘What Is Life Without The Living?’ misremembers the opening lyric to the theme of Imitation of Life. The tune hauntingly floods Luther Price’s A. Alongside David Scheid’s video, Margot Kidder, these works reconstruct Hollywood from a space of queer fantasy with their drag and collage editing tactics. The event is curated by programmer and moving-image scholar Bradford Nordeen, featuring a very special digital introduction by critic and author Kevin Killian and a post-screening discussion with David Scheid.

Programme:
- Margot Kidder (David Scheid, 2005, 13 min, video)
- A (Luther Price, 1995, 60 min, S8) (screened on DVD)
