Optic Nerve 14: Wall Portals, Eerie Puppets, and Winning Hound Dogs

Joel Swanson, The End (Film Still)

But mostly new perspectives abound at the festival, including one that might induce seizures in some viewers called "The End." The film presents a split second series of title cards that closed older movies with "The End," The short has no sound, save for the murmur of occasional amused laughter from the audience at the dense if brief short that pays tribute to a lost, if dated, character of cinema.

At the end of the screenings audience members were encouraged to submit a ballot with noting their own favorite of the program. The MOCA will reveal the winner sometime this week on its website. The program will be re-screened at the de la Cruz Collection in Miami's Design District, 23 NE 41st St., on October 13, beginning at 7 p.m. It will also screen at the Big Screen Plaza in New York City at a date TBA.
