Past Films

  • Superior Elegy and Sneak Preview

    • Tuesday, December 2 7:30 pm

    Travis Wilkerson in Person. Politically committed and visually striking, Travis Wilkerson's films combine sophistication and elegance with raw urgency. On tonight's program are a document of a musical tribute to a Minnesota man murdered at age 25; and a sneak preview of Wilkerson's first fiction film, The Price of Copper, shot in Butte, Montana.

  • Light-on-Light: Projection Performance

    • Tuesday, November 25 7:30 pm

    Luis Recoder in Performance. Local artist Recoder takes over the projection booth for a special site-specific performance. Experimenting with a mobile frame, using water to redirect light, and even dispensing with film altogether, Recoder revels in the essence of cinema and opens up the relationship between spectator and screen.

  • No and Goshogaoka

    • Tuesday, November 18 7:30 pm

    Sharon Lockhart in Person. The films of renowned Los Angeles artist Lockhart are choreographed in their movement, modernist in their sensibility, and ethnographic in detail. These works made in Japan-one an exploration of landscape and labor, the other a mesmerizing study of girls' motions while playing basketball-are both rigorous and utterly pleasurable.

  • Alternative Requirements: Experimental Works from Bay Area Schools

    • Tuesday, November 4 7:30 pm

    Artists in Person. This annual selection of experimental works by students in Bay Area film schools offers an exciting look at the diverse styles and concerns of emerging film and video artists.
