Block 1, Part 2:
Durham Cinematheque presents "Two Ways of Seeing (Things)"
Tom Whiteside has created a brand new show expressly for Strange Beauty, culled from his legendary collection of films. Two screens simultaneously show brief excerpts from films both famous and not, shots from newsreels, fleeting moments from anonymous home movies, and other unique bits of archival flotsam and jetsam. Despite the "twice as many as usual" format, this is not a "sensory overload" program, nor is it strictly informational. It is sometimes slow, sometimes surprising, and sometimes dazzling.
