Filmmaker Roger Beebe brings his mad-scientist AV room to Orlando to screen experimental works

Experimental filmmaker Roger Beebe returns to Orlando as part of a 25th anniversary live tour, visiting a suitably DIY venue for his adventurous works.

Beebe, renowned for his abstract multi-projector film works, will be setting up
his mad-scientist AV room at Stardust Video to show off both his 16mm experiments — including the seven-projector Last Light of a Dying Star — and live-narrated documentaries on subjects like men crying and capitalist decay.

Beebe is a seminal figure in Florida underground cinema; he taught for over a decade in UF’s film program and founded an experimental film festival in the state, FLEX. Get away from streaming and come catch a few flicks.

8 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 Winter Park Road, $5-$15.
