What we’re about
Meet others who deliberately seek out challenging foreign, avant-garde, and experimental films screened in San Francisco or Berkeley. After each film, we will get together for conversation at a cafe.
If you, like me, also enjoy thought-provoking literature, check out my Classic Literature and Cafes Club: http://www.meetup.com/Classic-Literature-and-Cafes

See all- Bill Morrison’s “Incident” + Calonico/Elsheimer’s “Sudden Birth”Artists' Television Access, San Francisco, CA
Join us at Artists' Television Access for, "ARCHIVE FEVER: BILL MORRISON's INCIDENT + CALONICO/ELSHEIMER's SUDDEN BIRTH,” a program of short films that explore cinematic archival treasures. “Bill Morrison, thee Archival Film Artiste of our moment, happens to be a beloved friend of the Other Cinema family, and tonight he's sharing thee West Coast premiere of his masterful half-hour re-working of rather recent and problematic Chicago Police body-cam footage...with Bill's personal video intro shot in the Cursed Collector Cave right right under our floor! Co-billed is Scott Calonico/Skip Elsheimer's (A/V Geeks) incredible educational-film de-construction Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sudden Birth. Port Costa's Ian Saroka kicks in a hefty excerpt about his discovery of a hidden Slovenian Film Archive,Greetings from Free Forests, while media magician Caspar Stracke's Zuse Strip anchors an amazing set of four media-archeological anomalies that also boasts IBM's '53 mainframe promo Piercing the Unknown and Walter Cronkite's mid-60s internet prototypes. Our curiosity also leads us to the famous lost-and-found S8 reel shot on the Altamont stage, a disco-fuelled Oscar Mayer weiner industrial, and Justin Rhody's massively collaborative Potemkin exquisite corpse! PLUS a Bruce Conner rarity, Standish Lawder's legendary Dangling Participle, and free cookies!!” — Program notes
