On October 18, UCLA’s Hammer Museum (great name) will premiere Oneohtrix Point Never’s new Val Kilmer-starring music video for “Animals,” off of last year’s Garden of Delete. The premiere coincides with the start of “Ecco: The Videos of Oneohtrix Point Never and Related Works,” a retrospective of sorts, and part of the museum’s ongoing “In Real Life: 100 Days of Film and Performance” exhibition. “Animals” is written by Daniel Lopatin and Rick Alverson, and directed by Alverson.
If you’re visiting this website, odds are you already know who Daniel Lopatin a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never is, so let’s not waste anymore time skirting around the obvious: The new Oneohtrix Point Never video stars the man who is indisputably everyone’s favorite Batman, Val Kilmer! Iceman! Doc Holliday! Gay Perry! The guy from Heat who is neither Pacino nor Deniro, yet still gets to be on the poster! Damned if it isn’t always a treat when he shows up in stuff.
“Ecco: The Videos of Oneohtrix Point Never and Related Works” will run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from October 18 to November 19, in the museum’s Billy Wilder Theater. More information can be found here. Watch the trailer for the event below. And seriously, reconsider Batman Forever. People often forget just how pretty okay it really is!
In related news, Lopatin canceled his show tonight at Florida’s III Points Festival due to “canceled flights and travel complications.” Check here for more schedule changes.
