That should've been obvious to me as I'd relocated to San Francisco by autumn 1989 and travelled back to Chicago for the final screening (which included Kali Film (Heins), Renga <https://erictheise.com/films/renga/> (Dorsky and others), Baillie's All My Life, Schofill's Filmpiece for Sunshine, and Maclaine's The End.
Bless the PFA, they properly cataloged the binder of notes I left with them: https://search.library.berkeley.edu/permalink/01UCS_BER/1thfj9n/alma991005055619706532 Eric On Wed, Jan 17, 2024 at 4:34 PM Eric Theise <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Joel, > > I wonder if you make a distinction between a gallery actually curating the > films and simply hosting/the series.
