Tracing the Eraserhead Esthetic: Glackens, William – “East River Park”
According to the zoning application, developers intend to construct a two story addition in the rear of the property, build out three apartments upstairs, and have a vacant commercial space on the first floor. Hopefully, the work will also include some work on the building’s facade, which could use a little love. It seems there are no concrete plans as of yet for the commercial space, though we wonder whether any sort of retail operation could find success here. The block isn’t exactly what you’d call pedestrian friendly.
Geekadelphia is partnering up with what is fast becoming one of the best alternative cinema venues in the city PhilaMOCA to bring you the Philadelphia premier of a great comedy about LARPers Lloyd the Conqueror. The film is a Canadian comedy co-written and directed by Michael Peterson starring Brian Posehn and Mike Smith, better known as Bubbles of the Trailer Park Boys.

Curated by Catherine Pancake, Uncanny Visions is a series combining the lush private darkness of micro-cinema with the visceral charge of live cutting-edge performance art. The series takes inspiration from the concept of the uncanny, hoping to attract an audience who is drawn to the unfamiliar ready to take a few risks and participate in our communal unheimlich. Experimental cinema has a long historical engagement with the uncanny, crisscrossing psychoanalysis, altered states of mind, and visual illusion. Performance art’s obsession with the body and its extension through technology celebrates the flesh becoming art object and the anthropomorphism of the machine. Each Uncanny Vision event will join a program of experimental film with an original conceptual performance from national and internally renowned artists.
