Best known for his multi-projector 16mm performances, Roger Beebe has also been slowly accumulating a significant body of single-channel video work as well.  In the wake of the release of two new major videos in 2014--the award-winning "Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes), Part II: The Crying Game" and "Congratulations (One Step at a Time)"—La Video Shop is excited to present a program focused on that full body of work.  The program features those new works alongside older videos including his experimental karaoke piece, "Touch Me Karaoke" (2008), to be performed live by the director; his “contracted cinema” take on the Biblical concordance, “Beginnings” (2010/2011); his "telephone game”-inspired “One Nation under Tommy,” and more.
