GRETA SNIDER’s 3-D + L.CAPLAN + A.COPPOLA +
The second half of our Focus on Locusdouble-header features two world premieres—exquisite expanded cinema/retinal rivalry pieces by the Mission’s own Greta Snider, plus a timely revival of her epochal 16mmdiary Portland, train-hopping with Ivy McClelland and Iggy Scam! Lana Caplanbreaks away from her SLO college gig to unspool a NorCal debut, Patches of Snow in July (Hawaii volcano), as well as her earlier Maelstroms (Mexico border). In his farewell appearence, long-lost ally Alex Coppola flies in from Philly to not only open the show, but close it as well, with his world-class World Music vinyl selections, set to an absolutely sublime sampler of mid-20C personal travelogues—Glimpses of the Global South, glorious Kodachrome shot in four sites, moving east around the planet—Hong Kong, Tahiti, the Andes, and the Amazon. As to marginal spaces in the US interior: Brea Weinreb debuts Framing History, a collective S8 remediation of home movies from Japanese internees in the Amache, Colorado camp. PLUS: Matt McCormick’s cautionary America Nutria, on a Southern mammal now munching on Coastrhizomes!
