Join Brand New Blinkers for an evening of short films loosely based around the theme of HISTORY.  Films detailing a record of past events, past objects, past lives.

Including (amongst other things): A personal history flashing before our eyes, a group of friends recounting the history of a disastrous trip to Portland, 3000 old photographs showing us life in Beijing, a children’s “take-over” of a geothermal area known as The Devil’s Valley.

Including films by Joseph Bernard, Mikhail Karikis, Lei Lei and Thomas Sauvin, Chris Milk, Greta Snider and many more….

For the second installment of Eye on a Director, MAD highlights the collection of the legendary film distributor and archive Canyon Cinema. In the late 1950s, Canyon Cinema brought together independent film artists whose work reflected a remarkable diversity in style and content. Variously called avant-garde, underground and experimental, these artists shared a vision of filmmaking as a form of personal expression, free from the demands and constraints of commercial conventions.
