**STROBE WARNING. Most of the films in this program contain intense flicker effects unsafe for those sensitive to light.**

Comprised of some of Worden’s earliest cinematic experiments, this program brings together a selection of titles that film preservationist Mark Toscano once described as “sketches”—works that are short, sweet, to the point, and entirely unconcerned with making any “big” statement. Mostly formal and silent in nature, these films are far from clinical; Worden’s trademark wit remains ever-present. Whether addressing the audience directly in VENUSVILLE, zooming through space in IN & OUT, scratching directly onto celluloid in BOULEVARD, or reveling in the primordial power of light in THROBS, these titles fully embrace what could be described as “termite art."
