To do in LA tonight: RES screening

Xeni Jardin 10:25 am Tue Feb 1, 2005

For those of you in LA: The year's first RES screening of digital shorts and music videos takes place at the Egyptian theater tonight. Among the works scheduled to kick off at 8pm:

Interpol's "Evil," a troubling puppet-driven work that is the music video debut of acclaimed photographer Charlie White. Also on tap: 2 Many DJs side project Soulwax's video for "E Talking," an alphabetical lesson in pharmacological jargon directed by Evan Bernard; a pair of Fatboy Slim videos involving song, dance and frisky felines, directed by Jon Watts; and "Dream," Dougal Wilson's latest for Dizzee Rascal featuring the rapper as a pint-sized MC spitting his rhymes at bizarre ghetto puppets.
