University of Washington - Motion Picture Projectionist

Dennis was hired to be a projectionist at The Movie House theater in Seattle by Randy Finley[53][54] in 1973 while he was student at the University of Washington.[55] Being a projectionist allowed him to work his way through college.[56] In 1975 he was hired as a projectionist at the Moore Egyptian Theater in Seattle by Dan Ireland.[57] In 1976 he was the lead projectionist for the first Seattle International Film Festival at the Moore Egyptian. For the third Seattle International Film Festival in the Spring of 1978 he ran every screening for the festival including press screenings, matinees and mdinighters.[58][59]

At the UW he studied short story writing with Jack Cady, playwriting with David Wagoner, psychology with Elizabeth Loftus and dance with Ruthanna Boris[60] and Tommy Rall.[61][62]

In 1978 he finished his college education with a BA in Psychology. That same year he became a member of the Seattle Projectionist Union I.A.T.S.E. #154. One of his first union jobs was at the Green Parrot Theater.[63] He worked through the projectionist union until 1993.

Rosebud Movie Palace

In Seattle in 1979 Dennis Nyback purchased the Rosebud Movie Palace.[64][65] The Rosebud was dedicated to showing films from Hollywood's Golden Age.[66] Part of that mandate included showing newsreels, cartoons and short subjects before feature films. It was at that time the he began purchasing short films to precede the features. The Rosebud Movie Palace closed on August 31, 1981. The last month one and two night runs of classic films under the heading of The Greatest Movies Never Shown. They included silent films: The Black Pirate (1926), Blood and Sand (1992) Kriemheld's Revenge (1924), The Cat and the Canary (1927), Hearts of the World (1918), The Joyless Street (1925) and The Marriage Circle (1924). The last film was Sullivan's Travels (1941) on August 29–30.[67]

Jewel Box Theater

In 1989 he began a four-year run showing films every Tuesday (and occasionally other nights) at the Jewel Box Theater in Seattle. The screenings were held under the umbrella term "The Belltown Film Festival."[68] During that time he created programs on Burlesque,[69] Tin Pan Alley Songwriters,[70] Blues Music.[71] One eight week series was called A History of the World in 400 Minutes.[72] In answer to the Gulf War he created the program "War: Is it For You?"[73] In the early summer of 1990 Jack Stevenson arrived in Seattle from Boston. He had driven cross country with the trunk of his car filled with films. Dennis booked Jack into the Jewel Box for three days August 28–30; with an extra fourth night being a free outdoor show to precede the Jewel Box shows on Saturday August 25. The urban drive-in occurred across the street from the Jewel Box in the parking lot of the Plumbers Union building on. The wall of the plumber's building became the screen. A projector was set up on the rooftop across the parking lot. Access and electricity came via Geof Spencer's Occupied Seattle store below. Two feature films were shown: Viva Las Vegas(1964) and Hells Angels on Wheels (1967). Those in attendance arrived in cars via the alley or on foot with lawn chairs. Policemen occasionally drove by slowly. One squad car came up the alley and stopped. The two cops got out and asked what was going on. A chorus replied, “WE’RE WATCHING A MOVIE!” The cops laughed and left.[74][75] In his year end 1990 wrap up of film events in Seattle William Arnold gave the Belltown Film Festival the award for "Most Consistently Daring Film Programs."[76]

Jack Stevenson arranged for Dennis to come to Boston in the spring of 1991 to show films at The Primal Plunge, The Somerville Theater and the Coolidge Corner Theater. Jack Stevenson came back in the summer of 1991 for more shows at the Jewel Box.[77] Around Christmas of 1991 all of Dennis' projection equipment in the Jewel Box projection booth was stolen. That coincided with the owner of the Rendezvous accepting a better financial offer to host film shows in the Jewel Box. To honor previously booked films the Belltown Film Festival moved across the street to Occupied Seattle for further screenings.[78]

Pike St. Cinema

In 1992 Dennis opened the Pike Street Cinema in Seattle in partnership with Anne Rozier. The theater was created in a storefront at 1108 Pike Street. The empty space was chosen because it had a loft at the back and the rent was cheap. The biggest expense was building a wall a third of the way into the space. That created the auditorium in back of it with the lobby in front. A 10 foot wide screen was hung on the new wall. 16mm and 35mm projectors were placed in the loft. Seats were placed between. Voila! Movie Theater! Doug Stewart provided the 35mm projectors and made sure everything electrical was up to code.[79]

The Pike St. Cinema showed a mix of Dennis Nyback productions, new independent feature films, silent features, and revival feature films.[3] It also was home for various film groups to have regular events. They included the Backtrack Cinema Society hosted by Fred Hopkins, Cinema Experimento hosted by Jon Behrens,and ISC (Independent Short Cinema) hosted by Galen Young and William Isenberger. Most notably the Backtrack Cinema Society brought in Sam Andrew of Big Brother and Holding Company for a personal appearance. The ISC showcased works by independent filmmakers (in 16mm and 35mm) including Sarah Jacobson. Yau Ching, Bob Hutchinson and others.[80] The ISC also brought in Bruce Baillie for a personal appearance that included screening Castro Street, All My Life and other Baillie films. In 1993 Dennis drove to Cleveland to see a baseball game at Cleveland Municipal Stadium; from which the Indians would vacate at the end of the year. To finance that trip he showed films in Detroit. Johannes Schönherr came to Seattle to run the Pike St. Cimema while Dennis was gone from July 23 to August 12.[81][82]

Among the revival films was the curious 1975 Seattle production The Last Bath.[83][84]

Silent Films at the Pike St. Cimema were often accompanied by Lori Goldston. Those included Spies (Fritz Lang) 2/21/93,[85] The Blot (Lois Weber) 4/17/94,[86] The Penalty (Lon Chaney) 3/16, 1995, Leaves From Satan's Book (Carl Dreyer) 3/20-21/95, He Who Gets Slapped (Lon Chaney) 3/23/95, The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Dreyer) 3/27/95, The Blackbird (Lon Chaney) 3/30/95, Vampyr (Carl Dreyer) 4/3-4/95, Where East is East (Lon Chaney) 4/13/95.[87]

In 1995 Dennis dismantled the theater, loaded it into a truck, and drove it to New York.[88] He used the screen, seats, projectors etc. to open the Lighthouse Cinema. In 2002 in their ten-year anniversary issue the Seattle Stranger in an article titled "Top 10 Great Film Events" Sean Nelson listed the closing of the Pike St. Cinema as the number 3 event[89]

Lighthouse Cinema

The Lighthouse Cinema, 116 Suffolk Street, at Rivington, on the lower East Side of New York opened in the early winter of 1996. It reused the projectors, screen and seats from the Pike St. Cinema. He was assisted by Johannes Schonherr. While Dennis was showing films in Europe in the Spring of 1996 Johannes ran the theater.[90][91]

February 8–16 Takahiko Iimura appeared in person with his films.

June 12–20 was the first major retrospective of the works of George and Mike Kuchar with an eight-day festival showing every film available, forty titles in 8mm and 16mm, from the Filmmakers Co-op. The opening night featured an after films book release party hosted by Creation Books with Jack Stevenson's first book Desperate Visions: The Films of John Waters & the Kuchar Brothers. Appearing on opening night were George and Mike Kuchar, Jack Stevenson, Taylor Mead, Richard Kern, Todd Phillips, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Nick Zedd, and various people who had been involved in the Kuchar films from the early days.[92][93]

Mike Wallace came to the May 31 screening of the 1967 CBS Special Report The Homosexuals. He brought his wife. He stayed after the screening and graciously took questions for half an hour.[94]

The Lighthouse got great press. New York Magazine reported on the Mormon Church Explains it all to You and also The Give Me Liberty Summer of Love Movie Festival.[95] The New York Times reviewed the feature film Highway of Heartache.[96] There was a feature article titled "To the Lighthouse" in the Village Voice.[97] In the New York Native it was "Welcome to the Lighthouse: Where Mormon Propaganda Movies Meet Battleship Potemkin and Wild in the Streets. It mentioned The Mormon Church Explains it All to You, The Give Me Liberty Psychedelic Summer Anything Goes Films Festival, Marsha Brady Fetish Night, and others. It concluded "At the time when your local fourplex is probably playing Mission Impossible on all its screens, with shows starting every half-hour, Lighthouse Cinema (212-979-7571) is the kind of movie house New York needs."[98] At about that time the landlord Mark Glass offered Dennis a deal. He could pay over three times the rent (a raise from $1500 a month to $5000 a month) or accept a ten thousand dollar buyout to vacate the premises.[99] Dennis took the cash and closed the theater.[100] In 1997 the New York Times reported that the landlord Mark Glass had been arrested for attempted murder and arson against tenets of his building that did not take payout offers to leave.[101]

Independent in New York

After closing the Lighthouse Cinema Dennis stayed in New York. He supported himself with the cashout from Mark and Elliott and with independent films shows. His program "Screw The Mouse: Ripoffs, Parodies and Deviant Versions of Disney Cartoons and Characters" ran for one week at the Cinema Village, 22 East 12th Street, in Manhattan, from January 3 to 10.[102] From January 15 to February 19, 1997, he had a six-week every Wednesday gig at the Cinema Village. Patricia Thompson reported on it. "....Nyback's eclectic series offers some true rarities, like the patently racist jazz films (1/22) in which Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway and other jazz greats not only play, but act. The series then jumps to cross-dressing clips(1/29) existential educational films from the gray-flannel '50s (2/5), '60s vision of the year 2000 (2/12), and cigarette and beer ads (2/19). Nyback will be on hand to introduce his quirky fare, which alone should be worth the price of admission."[103] Bad Bugs Bunny remained in England with a screening at the Harbor Lights Cinema, Southampton, England, on February 28, 1997. His next engagement at the Cinema Village was Scopitone A Go Go, April 18–27, 1997. MTV transferred the program to video in order to interview Dennis, by Michael Shore, for a news item that played in rotation on the MTV news. He spent the summer and fall on the west coast. At the Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle June 13 to July 12 he ran 32 nights of silent films. In the fall he showed films in San Francisco a the Minna Street Gallery before flying to Manchester, England to be guest at the KinoFilm Festival. He returned to San Francisco for shows at the Minna Street Gallery between Christmas and New Year.

Clinton St. Theater

In September 1999 he moved to Portland, Oregon to take over the Clinton Street Theater[104][105] During his time operating the Clinton St. Theater with Anne Rozier[106] the theater showed a mix of new films, revival films, and creations of Dennis using his archive. Dennis Nyback shows included Defining the 1970s Through Classic Commercials,[107] Bad Bugs Bunny,[108] Strange and Surreal Industrial Films,[109] F&#k Mickey Mouse,[110] Scopitone A Go Go,[111] Jazz on Film,[112] The Dark Side of Dr. Seuss,[113] Forty Years of Classic Commercials,[114] The Genius of Bob Clampett.[115]

In July 2000 he produced a month long festival of Blaxploitation Films.[116] In the Oregonian review Shawn Levy wrote "Some things you're lucky just to be around for. Take the monthlong celebration of African American cinema at the Clinton Street Theater. Availing himself of his remarkable archive of films, Clinton co-owner Dennis Nyback has put together a string of films an earnest person could use as the basis of a book: documentaries, rare bits of TV programming, Hollywood features, films made for the all-black market, silent movies, footage of the likes of Billie Holiday and the Nicholas brothers -- a true cinematic panoply of the black experience of the 20th century."[117]

Art and installations

In 1994 in Seattle Dennis created an installation using three 16mm projectors providing images on walls and the ceiling at oblique angles in an Industrial setting for the Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies gala event "Fantasmi di Fellini," Seattle, Washington, November 4, 1994. In 2005 in New York he created an installation involving back projection onto a scrim curtain to be viewed as spectral images from the sidewalk outside a storefront at 266 W 37th Street as the first event of the Chashama "The False Body" series curated by Alice Reagan.[118] In 2006 in Portland he was a PICA TBA artist with the project Portland Was.[119] It consisted of an interactive website portlandwas.com and the staging of three outdoor film screenings in three different public spaces along the Willammette River. The culmination of the TBA event was the "All Night Long Film Caravan" where Dennis projected films on the outside of downtown Portland buildings that were related to historic events of the past in that site specific place. The films were projected in 16mm with sound with all equipment being transported between sites on bicycles.[120] In 2011 in Kiel, Germany Dennis worked with the Film Group Chaos and Karsten Weber to create an Installation using three 16mm projectors, three 8mm projectors and three slide projectors, situated on an among disabled water works machinery for the Filmfest Schleswig Hostein Augenweide, Kiel, Germany, March 24–27.[121]
