    Among the many tragic losses in the underground film community of the past year (Jordan Belson, Robert Breer, Owen Land, Adolfas Mekas) the deaths of George Kuchar and Bob Cowan are particularly devastating. Cowan was in many ways the Kuchar brothers’ biggest star and occasional alter ego, having starred in numerous films by George and Mike in addition to creating many films of his own.

    Film showings include: Color Me Shameless, dir. George Kuchar, US, 1967, 16mm, 30 mins, b/w, Soul Freeze, dir. Bob Cowan, US, 1967, 16mm, 25 mins, color, Pagan Rhapsody, dir. George Kuchar, US, 1970, 16mm, 24 mins, color, and The Devil’s Cleavage, dir. George Kuchar, US, 1975, 16mm, 107 mins, b/w
