FEATURED MEMBER : San Francisco Cinematheque
SF Cinematheque was founded in 1961 by a group of young, idealistic filmmakers that included Bruce Ballie and Chick Strand. Since its foundation, they have become one of the most knowledgeable and respected showcases of experimental film, digital media, and performative cinema in the world. SF Cinematheque's intention is to make these works a part of the larger cultural landscape through three main areas of activity: exhibition, publication, and education. They present 50 different programs every year, including: in-person presentations, contemporary experiments in film, digital media and expanded cinema, lectures, public forums and more. Learn more
