BRIAN DARR IN PERSON: OPUS (n)ONE + WARM SPELLS: MATING RITES +
Comes now our first Live A/V show of the season, a hybrid program that carries over the record-store theme from last Sat., but blows up the multi-media aspect into a delirious circus of audiovisual delights. Long-lost critic Brian Darr is back in his SF hometown for one week only, so now is thee time to experience his para-cinematic sound-and-image celebration of the unlikeliest record label of the late 20th Century..a remote Maine launching pad for obscure avant garde composers, best remembered for its wild psychedelic covers. The second half belongs to J. Lee‘s Warm Spells, a 6-person A/V ensemble using overhead projectors, rear-projection, shadow puppets, and live musical performance, to enact their Pan-Galactic Mating Rites. Opening are playful riffs from lo-fi intermedia, including glasses-less 3-D, jug-whistling, the Trololo Man, and Len Lye‘s kinetic sculpture. $12

2025 PROXY Spring Series Film Festival
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 PROXY Spring Series film festival of FREE outdoor cinema at the PROXY Outdoor Theater located at 432 Octavia St!
Our film selection this Spring focuses on stories of everyday heroines: women forced out of their comfort zones, facing life’s difficulties with grace and determination, who through their journeys find completely new selves on the other side. In these dispiriting times, it is inspiring to share such compelling stories of compassion, grit, unconditional love and an uncompromising belief in our ability to create a better world together. We hope you come out, leave reality behind, and watch a film or two under the stars with us in the weeks ahead!
The festival runs every Friday from March 28th through April 25th. These FREE evening films begin 7:45 PM.
