Radar Three - Cassettes From My Ex

[ 03:20 ]
When Jason Bitner (FOUND magazine) discovered a mixtape in his mother’s basement from teenage love, Kate, he realized there must have been a reason he’d held onto the tape for so long. The reason? Memories. Realizing there were more stories of teen heartbreak and discovery from the cassette generation to be found, Jason wrote his, asked friends to contribute, and is now seeing the project go from tape to storytelling site to print anthology. Julie Gerstein (writer, NYLON, Dazed & Confused), Vinnie Angel (filmmaker & product designer), Michael Hearst (writer & composer) and The Magnetic Field’s Claudia Gonson discuss their involvement and the stories behind their tapes.

Dolly and the ink spots
Formed in the early fifties, the Inkspots were the most dynamic singing combination of their time. They became hugely popular for their unique African sound but strict racial laws meant that performances were restricted to a black-only audience, robbing the band of the artistic recognition they deserved. Their experiences reveal the repressive dynamics of the age in which they lived.

Radar Seven - Eclectic Method
Mowtown loved what they did, and hired them. U2 loved what they did, and hired them. Eclectic Method (Jonny Wilson-Brooklyn, Ian Edgar-LA, Geoff Gamlen-London) create AV (Audio/Video) pieces from found footage, for online consumption, and as VDJs live at dance parties around the world. They mix old skool funk with news and sports clips, classic movies, viral videos, and any other moving imagery that catches their eye, to create music that's experienced visually. Watch in wonder as they bring the supergroup of Slash, Barack, Britney and Robocop to life.

Moscow Cat Theater (Marilyn Agrelo)
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more unusual circus, or father-daughter performing duo. The Moscow Cat Theatre is just that: a travelling show of cats that perform amazing tricks for the owners who love and train them. Everybody in Russia may be used to seeing cats perform tricks, as the theatre’s manager explains in this funny, charming film, but felines walking tightropes, crossing the stage on giant balls and walking upside down is not a common sight in most countries. As a balalaika and accordion circus score plays in the background, Creative Director Vladimir and his daughter Maria combine their love of cats and stage to create a captivating act and illustrate the tricks of the trade – giving new meaning to the expression ‘herding cats’.

Hotel Torgo
In April of 1966, an El Paso fertiliser salesman by the name of Hal Warren set out to make a popular commercial film. Armed with $16,000, no professional actors and no professional crew members, Warren and his crew made a film called `Manos: The Hands of Fate` - which is now regarded, by many critics and historians, as one of the worst films ever made. This short documentary tells its story.
