Sixteen experimental short films created 1965-2017 that provide a vivid account of creative processes used in the recycling of images in experimental moving image art.

Thursday, March 2nd, artist/software engineer Eric Theise will perform A Synesthete’s Atlas, an improvised cartographic salon piece using projected maps based on OpenStreetMap data. Since the premiere performance in Lisbon, April 2022, Theise has collaborated with improvising musicians across the US; this will be his first solo performance, with maps being manipulated to a soundscape inspired by the Library's cartographic and geographic holdings.

San Francisco Cinematheque is thrilled to collaborate with San Francisco's 4 Star Theater in the inaugural screening in its Variable Density series, a monthly screening series of experimental film.

Mara Mattuschka is one of the most important artists working in experimental cinema today. Bulgarian-born and currently based in Austria, Mattuschka is a multi-hyphenate—actress, painter, professor, performance artist, producer—whose work highlights the mutability of women's bodies and their power to reshape gendered norms and expectations. Mattuschka often functions as the only protagonist in her films, allowing her body to work as a canvas, an object and subject that is painted, extended, trimmed, deformed with special effects, and more.
