Revanche Saturday, October 12 at 7pm THE JANUS COLLECTION Revanche
dir. Götz Spielmann, Austria, 2008, 35mm, German with English subtitles, 122 min.

A gripping thriller and a tragic drama of nearly Greek proportions, Revanche is the stunning, Oscar-nominated international breakthrough of Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann. In a ragged section of Vienna, hardened ex-con Alex (the mesmerizing Johannes Krisch) works in a brothel, where he falls for Ukrainian hooker Tamara. Their desperate plans for escape unexpectedly intersect with the lives of a rural cop and his seemingly content wife. With meticulous, elegant direction, Spielmann creates a tense, existential, and surprising portrait of vengeance and redemption, and a journey into the darkest forest of human nature, in which violence and beauty exist side by side. Sunday, October 13 at 8pm Mark Hosler / Thomas Dimuzio / Wobbly / M.C. Schmidt Presented in quadrophonic sound, this stellar evening promises to rattle all four corners of the room as a distinguished cast of sonic explorers range promiscuously across the outer space of experimental sound, plunderphonic collage, free improvisation,

composed pieces, and noise. Modular synths, circuit bent instruments, obsessive compulsive sample banks, and all manner of percussive oddities will be wielded in solo and duo sets recombining Mark Hosler (a founding member of Negativland), Thomas Dimuzio (drone and modular synth guru), Wobbly (cut-up impresario), and M.C. Schmidt (one half of electronic duo Matmos) into impossible shapes. No laptops! All hands on deck!
