Community Action Center

Echo Chamber Creative Headquarters 

1519 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 90026

Community Action Center is a sociosexual video by A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner which incorporates the erotics of a community where the personal is not only political, but sexual. This project was heavily inspired by porn-romance-liberation films, which served as distinct portraits of the urban inhabitants, landscapes and the body politic of a particular time and place. 

The film will be followed by a Q & A with A.L. Steiner, a multi-media artist who works in photography, video, installation, collage, performance, writing and curating, often through a collaborative process.

Dear Comrade

Craftswoman House and WCCW present:

Dear Comrade
Monday, August 18, 8:30pm

followed by a Q & A with Mady Schutzman

Echo Chamber Creative Headquarters 

1519 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 90026

Written and directed by Mady Schutzman, Dear Comrade is an experimental essay film that documents the story of Llano del Rio (1914-18), the most important non-religious communitarian experiment in western American history. Llano is offered as a site to explore the struggles, courage, frustrations, fantasies, and Sisyphean efforts of innumerable idealists who have assumed comparable struggles in spite of tremendous odds. The story is told through archival footage, surreal re-enactments, interviews with ex-colonists, local residents and historians, and the meanderings of a silent nomad through the ruins of the Llano colony in the Mojave Desert. Through the intersection of stories, a seemingly traditional documentary morphs into a montage of parallel universes, political commentary, clownery, and a palpable desire—failings and disappointments notwithstanding—to give idealism and cooperation another try.
