This screening showcases the award-winning short experimental films and video artworks from Pebbles Underground Winter 2025 edition. Despite vastly different geographies and aesthetics, the artists share a commitment to cinema as a means of exploring personal, political and historical spaces.

On Saturday January 31, we will be screening a special double feature celebrating the work of found footage luminaries Negativland and Craig Baldwin. Negativland is an experimental music and video group from the Bay area whose radical insistence on free sampling have cast a long shadow on today's video-free-internet, including coining the term "culture-jamming". We will be showing their rarely screened video No Other Possibility, made in collaboration with Landon Spearman.

This career retrospective, combined with a filmmaker residency, offers Bay Area audiences a chance to see American avant-garde filmmaker Robert Beavers’s highly rewarding body of work and engage with him as an artist. His films are exceptional for their visual beauty, aural texture, and depth of emotional expression.
