Support the Tropes is a night of video art highlighting the diverse ways MFA students are using video and film in our art practices. This show is an opportunity for us all to come together, fostering the greater community of Bay Area MFAs, while at the same time allowing our works to be seen in the greater artistic world outside of our programs.

This Year we had so many films for our TDOR screening we couldn’t include them all, we saved this one for for the New Year!Trans Somnium: Black Ghosts.

In an attempt to reunite with her dead girlfriend, Maya evokes dark forces through occult rituals, with devastating results. She has opened a portal to hell and must now fight to survive against a small band of angry and deadly spirits, who twist and turn her reality into a living nightmare.

As always, FREE POPCORN, Raffle and door prizes!
