2nd Screen-2-Stream is a success!
Monday, July 29th, marked the 2nd iFvChicago.com “Screen-2-Stream” Film and Video Screening at FrankieJ’s Methadome Theatre.
The night kicked off with a great piece of interactive art submitted by local area artisan, Shawn Lawson. His interactive video art installation titled “Aura” generated visual particles from the person standing in front of the camera and their aura field is projected onto a wall. This piece was both a great installation and drunken fun for the B.Y.O.B. audience.

Host,Angela Farruggia of Frankie J's Methadome Theatre checks out the Aura surrounding her by interacting with Shawn Lawson's installation.

The films submitted this month were also outstanding and entertaining. We where able to enjoy all genres of cinema this month, from experimental films in which third place winner Dan Lacloche describes his film, “Candy Machine” as one’s personal reflections to the encapsulation of the intricacies of a mechanical machine.

Third Place Winner,"Candy Machine"creator Dan LaCloche shares some styling tips with the audience.

We also had some political satires towards the stronghold of the corporate establishment and the people they affect. Of course the comedic intelligence of the comedies submitted this month where far above par, with, “Play it Again Gene,” by Dale Chapman in which Gene Simons of Kiss spends the evening with Woody Allen and his date.
|
Dale Chapman, creator of,"Play It Again Gene" speaks of his stand up career and the eased pressure of being behind the scenes instead of on the stage. Dale is also a writer and actor of the television show, "We Are Genious in France" airing weekly on Thursday night at 10:00pm on channel 19.
