Underground Filmmaker Cameron Jamie Explores Dark Suburban Rituals in Films Set to a Live Score by The Melvins, Dec. 4, UCLA Live

"Not documentaries in any familiar sense-the films are anthropological, but they're also intense immersive experiences, especially if seen with the roiling live accompaniment from heavy metal minimalists, the Melvins." -Time Out (London)

LOS ANGELES- In three films to be screened at UCLA Live, American artist and underground filmmaker Cameron Jamie documents quirky and sometimes disturbing suburban rituals-from L.A.'s backyard wrestling ("BB," 2000), to America's obsession with Halloween ("Spook House," 2003), to Austria's curious preoccupation with a menacing yuletide beast called the Krampus ("Kranky Klaus," 2003). Set to a powerful live score by the legendary post-punk band, The Melvins, this event takes place at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4 at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus, and will run approximately one hour with no intermission. For tickets call 310-825-2101, visit www.UCLALive.org or contact Ticketmaster.

UCLA Live presents

Cameron Jamie

Three Films: Kranky Klaus/BB/Spook House

With live score by the MELVINS

“Not documentaries in any familiar sense – the films are anthropological, but they’re also intense immersive experiences, especially if seen with the roiling live accompaniment from heavy metal minimalists, the Melvins.” —Time Out (London)

Raised in the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley, American artist and filmmaker Cameron Jamie has explored the dark underbelly of the American dream in drawings, film and performance. Jamie’s investigations into quirky and sometimes violent suburban rituals are revealed in his new films Spook House and Kranky Klaus – urgent, unaffected and alarming journeys into the heart of vernacular culture.

Filmed in the white working-class suburbs of Detroit, Spook House explores America’s peculiar occupation with Halloween, revealing a community reveling in the macabre. Front lawns are transformed into cemeteries, kitchens become mausoleums and dismembered “bodies” are prepared for cannibal feasts. Jamie’s camera tracks the celebrants as the nights become longer and darker. Kranky Klaus unearths unseasonably violent behavior by a legendary beast called the Krampus at Christmas time in Austria. Both films will be screened with Jamie’s earlier acclaimed film about backyard wrestlers in Los Angeles, BB. Jamie’s vertiginous takes on these rituals are heightened by the menacing sounds of the legendary post-punk band, the Melvins, who will perform a live soundtrack created especially for these films. Formed in 1984 in Aberdeen, Washington, this three-man cult group has influenced many seminal bands of the last two decades including Nirvana. Drum, bass and guitar combine to create a powerful and claustrophobic sound.
