McCORMICK’s FUTURE SO BRIGHT + UMAN + SACHS +

Matt McCormick’s Future So Bright meditates on abandoned spaces in the American West. This half-hr. sneak peek at his experimental essay considers the failed efforts of the American Western Expansion, exploring ghost towns, abandoned military bases, and boarded-up tourist traps. In 16mm, Naomi Uman’s Ukranian Time Capsule is a 55-min. personal journey to her familial roots in Eastern Europe, organized in poignant episodes of earthy village life. PLUS the Bay Area premiere of the much-lauded Last Address by Ira (Forty Shades of Blue) Sachs, cataloging exteriors of the final residences of NY artists who died of AIDS (Haring, Mapplethorpe, Eichelberger, and too many more). AND Marcy Saude’s This Kind of Town, Mark Street’s Street of Dreams, Bryan Boyce’s Valencia Gardens, Rich Bott’s Hard Feelings, and free maps!
