Upcoming Cinematheque Program… DIRECT ACTION A film by Guillaume Cailleau + Ben Russell bit.ly/4brGtSp Apr 2nd, 7:00pm at The Lab In January 2018, the construction of an airport in rural Notre-Dame-des-Landes was officially canceled, putting an end to years of resistance led by one of the most important activist communities in France. From 2022-2023, filmmakers Guillaume Cailleau and Ben Russell immersed themselves in the ZAD (zone-to-defend) to create a portrait of collective life in the years after this unprecedented success. The resulting work documents the transformation of a local struggle into a new ecological protest movement - culminating with the Battle of Sainte-Soline in March 2023, where an act of collective direct action against water privatization was again met by the brutality of State violence.? #experimentalfilm #avantgardefilm #sfcinematheque #GuillaumeCailleau #BenRussell #DirectAction

San Francisco Cinematheque cultivates the international field of non-commercial artist-made cinema.
关于我们
Since its founding in 1961, San Francisco Cinematheque has become one of the most knowledgeable and respected showcases of experimental film and video in the world. Our intention is to make these works a part of the larger cultural landscape through three main areas of activity: exhibition, publication and education. Each year, San Francisco Cinematheque presents approximately 35 public screenings of artist-made film, video and performance to Bay Area audiences, with an eye for presenting contemporary and historic work from all eras and geo-political locales These screenings include curated thematic programs, in-person artist presentations, guest-curated programs, collaborations with other film and art organizations and more. San Francisco Cinematheque presents the annual CROSSROADS film festival. Additionally, Cinematheque regularly curates and presents programs at local arts organizations and international film festivals. San Francisco Cinematheque also creates publications documenting the field of artist-made film, including most recently, Luther Price in San Francisco & Craig Baldwin: Avant to Live! Additionally, Cinematheque maintains an online bookstore of hard-to-find and micro-published books documenting the field. The San Francisco Cinematheque also maintains an extensive archive consisting of physical and digital materials collected during the 60+ year history of the organization. In maintaining and developing archival collections, San Francisco Cinematheque is dedicated to supporting academic and curatorial research into the field(s) of non-commercial artist-made cinema.

Karel Doing is an experimental filmmaker and researcher who has worked across the globe with fellow artists and filmmakers, creating a body of work that is difficult to pinpoint with a simple catchphrase. In his book Ruins and Resilience (2024) he weaves autobiographical elements and critical reviews together with his wide-ranging interdisciplinary approach, reflecting on his own practice by positioning key works within the context of a vibrant experimental film scene in Europe, North & South America, and Asia. SF Cinematheque is excited to co-present this screening taking place on Friday, March 14 at Shapeshifters Cinema at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased here: https://lnkd.in/eADyhkQC

Born 1931 in Kristinehamn, Sweden, artist Gunvor Nelson lived in northern California 1953–1993, during which time she pursued a painting and art-making practice and, in 1966, began filmmaking. In meticulous work created over the subsequent five decades, Nelson’s body of 16mm film (and later digital video) explores interiority and natural landscapes (in the Bay Area as well as in Sweden), presenting a lushly subjective worldview unequaled in the history of the medium. Following her January 2025 passing (at age 93), Cinematheque and Canyon Cinema celebrate the life of this master artist. Join us on Thursday, March 13 at 7:30pm at The Lab.

Cinematheque’s 2025 exhibitions commence with ALL OVER COFFEE — a peculiarly caffeinated coupling of two still-life narrative experiments—Hollis Frampton’s Poetic Justice (Hapax Legomena II, 1972) and James N. Kienitz Wilkins’ This Action Lies (2018): Two films exploring the mechanical gaze of the camera, the paradoxes of written and spoken language presented in cinema space, entropic passages of time as embodied in coffee cups, each film rife with digressive humor, philosophy, romance, mystery, and intrigue. Please come prepared to ponder the etymology of Dunkin’ Donuts. And a lot lot more. Join us for this event on Thursday, January 23 at 7:30pm at The Lab! Purchase tickets here: https://lnkd.in/giSXVnVg Image From: This Action Lies?(2018) by James N. Kienitz Wilkins. ? Automatic Moving Co.
