Fort Point Theatre Channel presents Exclamation Point! #10: FILMSTOCK, films and film-related performances by Fort Point residents, artists, and friends – silent and musical work – to theatre and animation, Friday and Saturday, July 6th and 7th at 8:00 p.m. at 10 Channel Center Street, Fort Point, Boston. And it's free!

Among other thrilling debuts, the program features the fairy tale "Où est Fleuri Rose?" which follows the adventures of a pink teddy bear in Quebec. This cinematic-animation is the collaboration between composer, Mark Warhol and animation-artists, Nick Thorkelson and Amy MacDonald.

Additionally, the evening showcases the experimental work of Pelle Lowe. Lowe's "Earthly Possessions" is a trance film that uses the heightened emotional language of Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" and Michel Foucault's "Herculine Barbin" as its starting-point for a meditation on the eroticism of grief and the fluidity of gender-identity, in extremis.

These two films are complimented by David Henry Haan's play "It Always Rains When John Cusack Is in Anguish." This drama explores the comedic encounter between John Cusack and a woman at a bus stop.

Film shorts and other works include:

- "Soundproof" by Rocco Giuliano, which takes a whimsical look at the filmmaker's old and new home, while exploring the persistent tension between individuality and community.

- "o(77)" by Julie Miller, is a visionary experience intended to induce trance through imagery, in order to experience altered states.

- "Vacancy" by Mike Ware, is an intensely personal short film – and a meditation on the Catholic Church.

- "The Passenger" by Julie Zammarchi, is an animated film of the memories, dreams, and visions that crowd a woman's consciousness as she travels in a car toward her own death.

- "Breakfast," by Julie Mallozzi, is an installation piece that concerns family, time – and the mutability of memory.

= "Circle Song," by Douglas Urbank, is a Fantasia on a theme of nine repeating patterns in six colors. The work is comprised of a digital transfer of a handmade 16-mm film, a collage of hand-painted leader, altered found footage, adhesive overlays and applied optical sound.
