Cinema Project is excited to host guest curator David Dinnell, who has crafted two unique evenings of experimental film and video for us. Over the course of two evenings, we will see 19 contemporary works of animation, fiction, abstraction, observation, and motion studies, including three rarely presented works for multiple 16mm projection.

Please join Canyon Cinema on the evening of Monday November 14, 2016 at New Nothing Cinema for the next installment in our Salon series. We’re pleased to welcome filmmaker Toney W. Merritt. Toney’s selection of his personal films span from his time at the San Francisco Art Institute to an excerpt of a current film-in-progress. Toney and other local filmmakers were involved with the co-founding of No Nothing Cinema in 1982 at 30 Berry Street, San Francisco.

Early Monthly Segments is pleased to host the launch of three small books by Barbara Sternberg. Every Day 1, 2, 3 looks at the process of living and the process of filmmaking—how the quotidian influences the creative practice and how one moves from the real world to the imaginative world of artmaking. The launch will be accompanied by a short screening of four films followed by a discussion on the relation between filmmaking and book-making.
