Sincere thanks to all who came out to see @KerryLaitala's @canyoncinema salon last night. One more FREE 50th anniversary @SFAIalumni film dept. showing April 10: Mike Henderson showing his work along with that of George Kuchar, Bruce Conner, & Bob Nelson

Last night’s @canyoncinema salon with Scott Stark was a smashing success! They’ve announced the program for the next @SFAIalumni screening: @KerryLaitala showing a cross-section of her work + formative films by Phil Solomon & the late, great Barbara Hammer

Great to see the community come out to support the 1st of 4 screenings celebrating @SFAIalumni & @canyoncinema last night. Hearing @tobiemarx's 1st-hand accounts of Curt McDowell's filmmaking process was priceless- as were the rarely-seen films!

Next FREE event: @slugger415 3/25

Monday, March 11 is the first of four FREE @SFAIalumni film screenings co-organized by (my wife) @KerryLaitala and @canyoncinema. 16mm films by the late Curt McDowell, with his collaborator @tobiemarx in person

I talked to Noir City honcho Eddie Muller about Argentine cinema, Bogie, & his @SFAIalumni days for @KeyframeDaily

Tonight @BAMPFA's showcase of local student work includes a 16mm print: @SFAIalumni Maria Theresa Barbist's Fragments

I haven't seen Peter Hutton's NFR-selected Study of a River yet. Hutton is among @SFAIalumni who worked at @canyoncinema before moving East.
