The seventh season of the Experimental Film Coalition begins tonight with eight films, ranging in length from two minutes to just over half an hour, in format from animation to stop action to slow motion, and in source from School of the Art Institute film instructor Laurie Dunphy to cartoonist Heather McAdams. Dunphy’s Journalism Conducts a Tour sounds like one of the more interesting; it’s “a serious look at technology and the media, including the cinematic “journagestures’ mass media use to bowl over consumers.” It’s all at the Randolph Street Gallery, 756 N. Milwaukee. Things start rolling at 8 PM. It’s $4, $3 for students and members of EFC and RSG. More info at 274- 1845.
