  • Media for Social Change Final Class Screening

    In this collection of works the artists employ their unique perspective, exploring what has influenced their own ways of seeing while offering viewers an experiential journey. The resulting experimental, fictional, and documentary videos utilize metaphor, symbolism and poetic gestures to narrate lived experiences, share personal philosophies and world views, and raise awareness about pressing issues.

    About the class:
    The Media for Social Change course surveyed new media from a lens of personal transformation and artistic activism as a means to create positive social change. This course examined the uses of mass media in contemporary society worldwide–news, advertising, propaganda, censorship, and power–and consider the tremendous potential this medium has to subvert and transcend these uses–through art, activism, collaboration, transparency, global accessibility, and citizen journalism–as a powerful tool in hands of a technologically savvy generation.

  • Other Cinema: PSYCHO-GEOGRAPHY (FINLEY/MUSE + CLIPSON + TEMPORAL CITIES + CINE-FRANCISCO)

    Back by popular demand is another OC panorama on sense-of-place: Lizzy Brooks and Radka Pulliam double-project their gutsy chronicle of the Tenderloin, Temporal Cities, drawn from hundreds of street interviews. Jeanne Finley and John Muse, too, contribute to the critical discourse on SF locales with the unveiling of Falsework, on absurd architecture to accommodate military-pet culture. Also in the flesh, Paul Clipson projects his little-seen 16mm Light Year towards this discussion of our wonderful waterfront, centering on our sister microcinema at the Exploratorium. AND David Cox/Molly Hankwitz’ live Bivoulab project Cine-Francisco2 re-writes SF as a major character across Hollywood films. PLUS the US premiere of Christina Battle’s Tracking Sasquatch, Bill Basquin’s Death Valley Love Story, Nik Nerburn’s Three Roads, Enid Ryce’s A Land for War (exc.), Chris Marker’s Junkopia, and Bryan Boyce’s clever core-samples.
