More Flavor: Festival RE/Search presents the Pranks Film Festival
-
- Still from Reemco Atomic Broom
RE/Search's 1987 publication Pranks was a postmodern update to André Breton's Anthology of Black Humor (1940), itself a compendium of mischievous deeds, gags, and jokes, recounted by cultural subversives who jostled the status quo. Now, with the release of a Pranks sequel in time for April Fools' Day, the underground publisher is holding a film festival in the spirit of the original volume. Faux Film Festival curates scads of short films for a majority of the screenings, but the programs to watch are the special presentations featuring the godfathers of the put-on — Coyle and Sharpe's 1965 TV pilot (with Mal Sharpe in person), and Jenny Abel's doc about her culture-jamming father, '70s cult director Alan Abel.
