Craig Baldwin, ATA co-founder and organizer of the Other Cinema series of experimental and underground film and performances, hosts a special anniversary iteration of the famous weekly series, showcasing the work of three members of the 992 collective -Bryan Boyce (San Francisco), James T. Hong (Taipei), and Sylvia Schedelbauer (Berlin).
The funky/punky media projects at 992 Valencia St. celebrate their 30th anniversary in the Mission trenches with a series of screenings to honor a home-grown DIY culture of radical vision and critical verve. This OC/ATA co-production sets it off with a dazzling showcase of the work of 3 of our “family” members who got their starts in our incubator storefront, then moved on up to international art-stardom. In person, Bryan Boyce introduces a recombinant raft of his righteously satiric shorts, including hits from the 90s as well as new instant-masterpieces like the Reality Factory and Google Mission. James Hong,Biennial regular now based in Taiwan, represents with a trove of trenchant geopolitical works: Condor, Behold the Asian, Suprematist Kapital, and A Portrait of Sino-American Friendship. Like her fellow Hall-of-Famers in archival/collage approach, now-Berlin denizen Sylvia Schedelbauer, most recentATA grad to grab world headlines, rewards us with Way Fare, False Friends, and her exquisite Sounding Glass.
