Starring Zhanna. Gamaya ("Lead Us") a Sanskrit mantra performed by Zhanna, recorded and mastered by Zak May. This is a haiku and offers a prelude to CONSUME

Inspired by the novel Flicker by Theodore Roszak, this film was intended to explore the images captured in the flickering light of multiple projector beams. By utilizing superimpositions within the camera, one could experience the pulsating light and explore hidden imagery through use of the "Sally Rand" that Roszak refers to.

“AEON (...) draws parallels between the earthly and the heavenly, linking the San Francisco cityscape and city dwellers to outer space (...) brings the (holy) spirit to life (...) one of Angerame’s major and most mature works to date” — Kornelia Boczkowska, author of Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American Experimental Film and Video

“I've never seen light that looks or feels so dark; forward moving possibility united with so much cosmic terror.”—Marilyn Brakhage

"In June 1999 dear friends Agnetta Falk and Jack Hirschman were married at Matt Gonzales' place in the Mission. I was there with my 16mm Bolex and filmed part of the ceremony and crowd. After almost 30 years I finally made this footage into a finished film. It features many of our dear friends both living and deceased. In honor of Jack and Aggie's wedding anniversary I finished the film over the weekend." – Dominic Angerame.

“WAR ZONE (...) Angerame’s unique take on the history, geopolitics and present-day of the DMZ, which emerges as a complex site that goes well beyond its borders. (...) one of Angerame’s most original and remarkable works to day (...) revealing the intricate complexities of the area and capturing the tension that is still in the air.” — Kornelia Boczkowska, author of Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American Experimental Film and Video

Voyeuristic Tendencies is not so much a film about voyeurism as it is our tendency to be voyeuristic. That tendency, nurtured by the filmmakers carefully crafted succession of visual teases and exploited by the camera's ability to become our eyes, becomes in increasingly evident as the film progresses. The camera teases the viewer, in this case, co-voyeur, not with sexual or erotic innuendo, but rather with graphic and aesthetic challenges. The partially opened window of a woman's dressing room forces us to realize our urge to see more about these hidden worlds. This type of cinematically- induced self- realization makes Voyeuristic Tendencies a powerfully human film.

Anti-war demonstration, 1968, New York City march to Sheep's Meadow, shows Vets against the war, Yippies, arrests, and flags of a half-forgotten revolution.

Short film by Dominic Angerame.

Soundtrack: Ed Sanders. Filmed in Buffalo, 1969, completed in Chicago, 1973. Acid in the park, broken images, danger symbols of the fleeting moments.

"At the beginning and end of each roll of 16mm I shot a small part of the film is exposed to light because of the insertion and removal of the spool of film. Oftentimes images are obscured by light flashes. I saved many of these short segments when filming and living in Chicago. All of these are spliced together creating a visual diary of my time spent there with my wife Susan. The time period was from 1971-1979. Most of the imagery is from our Chicago days with a couple of scenes from San Francisco. Since the images are flashes and this is a look backward, I titled this short Flashbacks." --DA.

Starring Bruce Conner, a belly dancer, a geiger counter, and a toxic waste dump.

" (...) documents the beginnings of San Francisco’s radical microcinema (...) a landmark venue for showcasing the work of independent and experimental cinema (...) a group of local 'emergency filmmakers,' including Angerame, the revolutionary spirit and passion of those who organized and came to the shows. Bruce Conner, Toney Merritt, and others. " — Kornelia Boczkowska, author of Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American Experimental Film and Video

“A beacon of creativity, a cauldron of experimentation and a haunted space of an (im)possible future — (...) continues Angerame's (...) collaboration with musician Kevin Barnard (...) provides a nuanced and uplifting score which projects unexpected hope into the tragedy of this film art requiem. Angerame's cine-documentation always speaks to beautiful and redemptive new forms in the face of seemingly impossible odds.” — David Sherman, filmmaker, professor

Song of the El Train in Chicago. The lab did not sync this film correctly and makes this film what it is.

Dedicated to Stan Brakhage "Before being introduced to 16mm filmmaking I was filming with a cheap Regular 8mm camera my sister had given me. I lived around the corner from Forest Lawn Cemetery on Main Street. This place I would often visit to either drop LSD or just for some serenity." — DA
