When Athens, GA: Inside/Out was released, a band, Limbo District, was featured for a mere 30 seconds before disappearing from the Athens tapestry forever. Nothing could be found of the mysterious outfit save for a short film entitled Carnival, Limbo District’s debut music video. Now, 40 years to the month after the original screening of Carnival, Chunklet’s Henry Owings has revived Jim Herbert’s expressionist film. The original master tapes were digitized by UGA Special Collections, and audio was meticulously remixed and mastered by David Barbe and Jason NeSmith for a viewing experience that is sure to far exceed expectations. Jim Herbert, the film’s creator, will also participate in a Q&A hosted by Richard Fausset from the New York Times.
