OpenScreening

s Open Screening is the only monthly open submissions screening in the Bay Area. Get your work out there!The first Thursday of every month we have an Open Screening. An Open Screening is where we invite local filmmakers to show their short subject films (under 15 mins.). It is a free event and you can either screen a film or just be a member of the audience. Either way it is FREE. It is a great place to network, if you are a filmmaker, crew member, actor or a fan of local films. Please let us know if you would like to screen something. We love films and would love to see yours.
Submissions: Label all tapes w/ name, contact, title and length. Mail to: Open Screening, 992 Valencia, SF, 94110. 1-2 weeks advance submissions strongly recommended. If not, just walk in before the show. Maximum length: 15 min. Formats: Digital File (PC or Mac), DVD, miniDV/DV-cam, VHS, beta, 8mm and 16mm. For 8mm and 16mm films give us advance notice.
Door opens at 7

ATA Window Gallery presents: Melissa Koziebrocki
“The figure-four deadfall is named for the shape of the number it projects. Mount a short, solid post into the ground before fastening a horizontal lever post to it, a few inches above the ground. The inward side of this lever post should be sharp enough to impale your bait. A small wedge, previously carved into the lever at the other end, should allow for slippage of the pointed base of a third post, shorter and unfastened. This one should be placed at an angle to rest steadily in a notch at the top of the vertical post so that it will support the leaning weight of a heavy log or stone. If executed correctly, an unsuspecting animal attracted by bait will activate the lever, and the weight, supported precariously by the unfastened post, will instantly bear down on the prey.”
From How To stay Alive in the Woods by Bradford Angier, 1956.
