Wizard Jodie Mack (Dusty Stacks of Mom, T/F 2014) sprinkles pixilated dust on the experimental doc form, creating something that feels altogether new. Ostensibly a grand, colorful tour of the world’s great textile traditions, The Grand Bizarre becomes an idiosyncratic, celebratory investigation of the patterns of human inventiveness. It’s also a tactile immersion into the artistic process itself, guided by Mack, a charming maximalist seemingly in love with life. Her enthusiasm is infectious as she places tapestries out in the streets and then inventively constructs layered soundscapes (including her rhythmic, sample-crazy music-making—you’ll love her use of the Skype dial-up sound). Those who give themselves over to the film’s antic charisma will come away full of its eye-popping treatment of language, map-making, and all manner of code, color, and design. Presented on 35mm. (PS)
