OFF THE WALL @ 725 PONCE

From the venue:

– The South’s largest screen, located along the Atlanta Beltline at 725 Ponce, sets the stage for this year’s Off The Wall @ 725 Ponce—a free monthly film series
celebrating experimental cinema, video art, and cult classics. Now in its third year, the series runs on the third weekend of each month from June through November. Cinephiles and casual passersby alike are invited to pull up a lawn chair, spread out a picnic blanket, or snap a selfie—for a quintessentially Atlanta
experience under the stars where Off The Wall projects directly onto the facade of an eight-story building.

The series kicks off at 9 p.m. on Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21 with the Atlanta premiere of Crossroads (1976), pioneering experimental filmmaker Bruce Conner’s haunting and meditative film that uses found footage of the first hydrogen bomb test conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll on July 25, 1946—code-named Operation Crossroads. The film is a landmark in avant-garde cinema and widely regarded as one of Conner's masterpieces. “Conner’s film is an undisputed masterpiece,” said Zinman. “We’re honored to present its Atlanta premiere — a bold and poetic work that perfectly sets the tone for our series showcasing
the very best in experimental film and video from around the world, always free and open to everyone.”
