Vidiots, Los Angeles
Vidiots is firing up the old ELMO CL projector again for ***Sweet 16mm: Ad****** Nauseam – A Vintage Commercial Extravaganza*** an evening of rare commercials and promotional films screened entirely on 16mm film. Spanning the late 1950’s to the early 1980’s, these weird, wild, wacky, funny, frightening and fabulous 30 second slices of vintage TV were designed to entice, dupe or otherwise coerce the American Consumer in the most entertaining fashion. From UPA animated Colgate commercials to the Mid-Century dream kitchen of a goddess in the long form Jam Handy promotional film *Diana Lives,* you’ll get hundreds of 30 second glimpses into not only the products that shaped yesteryear but the ad men and mad men that made us pull out our wallets. Be a sell-out! Play spot the budding star or celebrity has-been! See the things you forgot you really needed!
