After countless hours of searching through sci-fi, news and industrial films Oddball Films curator Stephen Parr has compiled a program of the strangest, most surreal and sublime robotic films. From smoking robots at the 1939 World’s Fair to walking sex dolls in the 70s this sub-human survey of the wide world of robots promises to be a pulsating panorama of singing computers, human automatons, housekeeping robots and sexy symbiotes the likes of which you’ve never seen in cinema. The program draws from a diverse mix of feature film clips, 1930s sci-fi serials, commercials, industrial shorts, documentaries, animation and sex films.
Featured films include:

The Weird World of Robots (1968)
Famed sci-fi author and futurist Isaac Asimov and Walter Cronkite investigate the strange and surreal world of robotics in the 1960s. Asimov advocates a race of “worker robots” to do the blue collar work for planet earth. Watch a robotic dog (Old Yaller), human amplifiers, a centaur and robotic machines designed to stimulate human responses to medical students. Later the “grave” questions are posed: “There is no question that man can live with the robot. The question is, can the robot live with man”.

The Sex Life of Robots (clip) Genius animator and director Michael Sullivan’s in-progress film features the hardest working and kinky sex robots in existence!
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe: Walking Bombs (1936)
Buster Crabbe stars in this early Sci-fi cinema serial. Loads of cheap effects and sinister robots.

Ballet Robotique (1982)
Ballet Robotique, presents an imaginative glimpse at the role of robotic technologies in the General Motors automotive assembly process. The film features beautifully shot footage of GM assembly line robots in action, synchronized to classical music performed by London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The result is a over the top homage to the art and innovation of GM technology (in 1982, not today!) . The film received two Academy Award nominations.

Rapid Robot (1960s)
Cartoon characters Jinx the Cat and Pixie and Dixie duel with robotic cats and dogs.

Stranger Than Science Fiction (1968)
This 16mm print from the 21st Century series narrated by Walter Cronkite is a exceptionally well-made television profile showcasing the history and evolution of robotics from sci-fi films to the technological realities of the 1960s. With vintage footage of Metropolis and other classic film fare.

The World of Tomorrow (1939)
Watch “Elektro”, the robot and his human master smoke a cigarette at the 1939 World’s Fair!

Zombies of the Stratosphere (1950s) Chapter #11 of the
The classic serial from the 50s. Watch hero "Larry Martin", prevent Martian invaders from using a hydrogen bomb to blow Earth away from the Sun so that Mars can take its orbital place.

Plus! Robotic homemakers, Rockem Sockem Robots, Robot Commando and bizarro commercials and trailers
