Roger presented "Films for One to Eight Projectors" here in Macon 2 nights ago and I agree
with Andy, it was a great time! The show was held outside in a park with a beautiful full moon in the sky above.
I have posted a few photos from the evening at:

>Florida filmmaker Roger Beebe has shown work in such unlikely venues as
>McMurdo Station in Antarctica and the CBS Jumbotron in Times Square, as well

>Among other films, Beebe will present a retooled two-projector version of
>his well-known Strip Mall Trilogy; Money Changes Everything, an elaborate
>three-projector meditation on Las Vegas; and the eight-projector magnum opus
>Last Light of a Dying Star. Made and projected in a variety of formats
>(video, 16mm, and super-8mm), the films combine found footage and Beebe's
>own striking imagery of American landscapes, seen through the prism of
>technological change. They also exist as part of a long avant-garde
>tradition of performance film since as Mr. Beebe says, they can only be
>screened with [the filmmaker] actually running the projectors and running
>from projector to projector.

>This event kicks off the fall programming for the bi-weekly film series Eye
>& Ear Clinic at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
