DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of our beloved Bay Area film co-op, Canyon 
 alums Courtney Fellion and Linda Scobie twirl a whirlygig of illusory 
 narratives and critical thoughts. The luv-fest features rarely seen 16mm 
 prints from the legendary collection, including Diana Krumins’ surrealist 
 assemblage "Babobilicons" and Mark Lapore’s "The Glass System", a 
 cross-cultural mediation on the “impact of globalization and the hegemony 
 of Western-style capitalism”. Local light Greta Snider’s street-poetic 
 "Blood Story" precedes headliner "Loose Ends", Chick Strand’s 
 kaleidoscopic collage on media oversaturation and psychological entropy. 
 And tying up a final loose end, tonight’s party also sees the release of 
 the fifth, consummating issue of the current configuration of "Canyon 
 Cinemazine", as editors Fellion and Scobie return the baton to director 
 Antonella Bonfanti for future incarnations. All five editions of their 
 project are available for purchase, along with a raffle of color posters, 
 test prints, plus free cake and champagne!!\nIndustrials amok! Here’s a 
 jaw-dropping 16mm compilation of our most time-warped titles--educational, 
 informational, and promotional films that together map out the real 
 underside of 20C film production. These preposterous shorts—at times 
 excerpted to foreground their sublimely ridiculous essence—come from that 
 great mass of non-fiction films produced for extra-theatrical 
 audiences—schools, churches, corporate groups—for the promulgation of 
 certain ideas and products. Over these eight decades, their retrograde 
 ideologies and modes of address have become increasing exposed, naked to 
 the eye, like grotesque fossil skeletons in a paleo-media boneyard. Curated 
 by Craig Baldwin, this uncanny initiative mines the most mind-melting 
 filmic artifacts from OC’s 4000-plus, including Little Oscar Meyer, 
 sex-ed, bed-wetting, noise cults, religious ecstasies, car fantasias, tech 
 obsessions, ad absurdum. And beers for a buck!  \n\n
