The Slow Film Festival's experimental programme explores duration and landscape at the margins of society. Held in the village of Mayfield, the festival acts as a retreat from the city. There will be an exhibition of Scott Barley's work, a special screening of Babette Mangolte's 'The Sky on Location', a programme of shorts and a curated series of features. There will be slow food in abundance and a Walking Cinema Seminar.

For seven years in the 1960s, Dion McGregor, a gay American songwriter living in New York, was recorded by his roommate narrating his dreams in his sleep. Half a century later, these tapes, since made into cult albums, were brought to the attention of the filmmaking duo behind the 2012 documentary sensation Leviathan.

Screening at Telematic, this coming Thursday, September 19th
Co-presented by San Francisco Cinematheque

Telematic is pleased to present Love, Cruelty, and Self-Destruction, a screening of video/performance works by Monet Clark, Cliff Hengst, Dale Hoyt, The Patchchords (w/ Fred Rinne), and Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle, presented – in collaboration with San Francisco Cinematheque – as part of our current, on-going exhibition Farm and Friends – in 3D!

Undoing The Whole Thing, the kick-off event of The Futurism is Ours, is about breaking down and building back up again. Featuring short work by Barbara Hammer, Miatta Kawinzi, and Joey Carducci, the program reflects on the filmmakers’ experiences working within and against cinematic lineages through their exploration of selfhood, queerness, and alternative social realities.
