This means, you don't pay a cover up front, but you SHOULD make a donation to their hat/basket. Buy their merchandise. Help support the talent we bring you, and we PROMISE... We'll Keep doing it, jsut for YOU.

None of this would happen without the Ultra talented ALLI , the spearhead of "Behind the Garage." Her eclectic taste brings in musical acts that range from the obscure to the truly otherworldy.

Feb 5: Micmacs
Avid movie-watcher and video store clerk Bazil has had his life all but
ruined by weapons of war. His father was killed by a landmine in Morocco
and one fateful night a stray bullet from a nearby shootout embeds itself
in his skull, leaving him on the verge of instantaneous death. Losing his
job and his home, Bazil wanders the streets until he meets Slammer, a
pardoned convict who introduces him to a band of eccentric junkyard dealers
including Calculator, a math expert and statistician, Buster, a
record-holder in human cannonball feats, Tiny Pete, an artistic craftsman
of automatons, and Elastic Girl, a sassy contortionist. When chance reveals
to Bazil the two weapons manufacturers responsible for building the
instruments of his destruction, he constructs a complex scheme for revenge
that his newfound family is all too happy to help set in motion.

Feb 12: Marwencol
"Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp.
After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar,
Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark
populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends
and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many
relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action
helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic
wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a
prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade
therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his
fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the
attack.

Feb 19: Last Train Home
A couple embarks on a journey home for Chinese new year along with 130
million other migrant workers, to reunite with their children and struggle
for a future. Their unseen story plays out as China soars towards being a
world superpower.

Feb 24: Until the Light Takes Us
Chronicles the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal - a
musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church
arsons as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics. This is the
first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore
been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow
depictions. Featuring exclusive interviews and verité with the musicians, a
wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the "Inner Circle"s earliest days.

 

 


"Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every
person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have
never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief.
We have never seen a totally sane human being." --Robert Anton Wilson
