KAMERA Series | Retrospective 2021–2025 is a one-day screening program bringing together international artists who have taken part in the KAMERA series over the past five years. It is presented as part of Vorspiel, a city-wide initiative supported by transmediale and CTM Festival, connecting independent project spaces, galleries, and cultural actors across Berlin in a shared program dedicated to experimental artistic practices, sound, technology, and critical discourse.

The San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) Film Department was founded in the late 1960s by Robert Nelson and Lawrence Jordan and for over 50 years attracted young artists who were excited by film as a form of poetic expression. The exceptional faculty — George Kuchar, James Broughton, Gunvor Nelson, Ernie Gehr, Al Wong, Janis Crystal Lipzin, Steve Anker, and the department’s founders — encouraged students to find their voices and stretch artistic boundaries in ways that reflected San Francisco’s freedom of lifestyle and radical experimentation.

“Among Mr. Mekas’s many achievements, one of the finest remains “Lost, Lost, Lost” (1976), a beautifully constructed diary film consisting of material from three decades, beginning in 1949 and ending in 1963.” — Manohla Dargis, 2005
