His earliest works were made at the Experimental Television Center, where he worked with video processing tools and innovative engineers to expand upon the possibilities of the emerging field of video. This exhibition will feature an extended selection of Bode’s “Process Tapes”, many of which were recorded as real time events at the Experimental Television Center between 1975-83. *Signal into Memory* traces the origins of Bode’s inquiry into the electronic signal as both a source and a substance in the video field, decoding the nature of video art and its ongoing impact as an interactive social system. *Signal into Memory* includes projections and installations of recently digitized videotapes from the artist’s archive which have never been shown publicly, as well as prints that reflect his work with video in material form. Throughout the exhibition there will be a series of events featuring video artists and toolmakers as part of the VSW Salon. *Signal into Memory* is curated by Tara Nelson and Nilson Carroll of Visual Studies Workshop, where Bode’s tapes have been preserved. Video artist Peer Bode (pronounced “Pear BOHdah”) has been working with video, performance, sound and multiple forms of printed media for over five decades. Bode is a graduate of Binghamton University’s Cinema Department, and has studied with Larry Gottheim, Nicholas Ray, Ken Jacobs and Peter Kubelka, and later with Woody and Steina Vasulka, Paul Sharits, Tony Conrad and Hollis Frampton at SUNY Buffalo’s Media Study Program. Bode worked at the Experimental Television Center (ETC), which his lifelong mentor and friend Ralph Hocking established in Binghamton in 1969. At the ETC, Bode made his foundational early works while assisting and collaborating with the video artist and engineer David Jones, whose “Jones Frame Buffer” became a signature processor within Bode’s oeuvre. *SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2026* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=2501c79cb7&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco, CA *ARCHIVE FEVER1* DAVID SHERMAN + REBECCA BARTEN + SCOTT STARK + The first of this Spring's Archive Fever Dreams is blessed by the return of two long-time pillars of the Bay Area underground scene – Rebecca Barten and David Sherman!!..and they're both bringing new works made out of archival material – Rebecca's, a crafty montage on the vagaries of her emotional life, and David's, a rare assembly of 'outs' from the legendary Dion Vigne, North Beach beatnik artiste whose box of raw footage of that community of poets and jazz musicians came as a gift from Vigne's widow herself!

Ambitions that molt. Girlhood morphed into menace, myth, and power. Femme Grotesquerie is a collection of ten contemporary experimental animation short films showcasing femininity as something unruly, excessive, and emboldened. Featuring a variety of mediums including direct animation, stop motion, and digital 2D, these films depict worlds lived, imagined, subverted, or reclaimed. Here, femininity is not decorative or contained but pushed to its edges: raw, acute, tender, funny, and volatile. From the animated porcelain puppets of *On Weary Wings Go By* to the glitter-bombed 16mm of *Moon Cycle *(2023-2024), these films stage feminine aesthetics and narratives as something to be wielded, distorted, reclaimed, and reimagined on the animators’ own terms. Join us to delight in the animated image and that strange pleasure of watching light, rupture, and reform. Contemporary international animated films by Justine Lai, Alice Bloomfield, Anu-Laura Tuttelberg, Amy Lockhart, Victoria Vincent, Sofia Carillo, Sophie Koko Gate, Jenny Jokela, Louise Flaherty, and Jenny Nirgends. *Moon Cycle*, By Justine Lai, USA, 2024, 16mm, color/sound, 3 min *Larval*, By Alice Bloomfield, UK, 2025, Digital, color/sound, 12 min *Jessica*, By Amy Lockhart, Canada, 2014, Digital, color/sound, 5 min *On Weary Wings Go By*, By Anu-Laura Tuttelberg, Estonia/Lithuania, 2024, Digital, color/sound, 11 min *The Last Wild Bird in Heaven*, By Jenny Nirgends, USA, 2024, Digital, color/sound, 7 min *Twins in Paradise*, By Victoria Vincent, USA, 2020, Digital, color/sound, 10 min *Prita Noire (Black Doll)*, By Sofia Carillo, Mexico, 2011, Digital, color/sound, 8 min *Slug Life*, By Sophie Koko Gate, United Kingdom, 2018, Digital, color/sound, 7 min *Dollhouse Elephant*, By Jenny Jokela, Finland, 2025, Digital, color/sound, 11 min *Mangittatuarjuk (The Gnawer of Rocks)*, By Louise Flaherty, Canada, 2024, Digital, color/sound, 15 min *TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 2026* *March 10 - 17* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Canyon Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=f68eb8c562&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ccfwinter2026/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=ee14373c26&e=857b71a9cb> *Canyon Cinema: Recent Acquisitions / Print Generations (Winter 2026)* This round-up of recent additions to the Canyon Cinema catalog includes a mix of new titles in distribution, new digitizations, and new films made for our Print Generations commissioning project. *Doing it For Daddy* (Ayanna Dozier, 2025), 02:53 *Mercy* (Abigail Child, 1989), 10:21 *Swing Swish Sway* (TT Takemoto, 2026), 06:55 *Bay Area Sampler* Quilt (Amy Reid, 2026), 09:45 *Flow Attachment* (Tijana Petrović, 2026), 08:50 *Manhattan One Two Three Four* (Tomonari Nishikawa, 2014), 03:19 *Dark Light* (Gloria Chung, 2025), 11:25 *THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2026* *March 12 - 13* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Filmmakers Coop <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=4dc6b3178d&e=857b71a9cb> 7:00PM EST both nights, 475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10016, USA *Fugue State Phase 3: New York City* On March 12th & 13th, FUGUE STATE once again brings radical cinema to NYC's Film-Maker's Coop, where the festival first launched in the summer of 2025. This time around, FUGUE STATE presents two nights of screenings, including the NY premiere of *PLAY DEAD! *By Canadian filmmaker Matthew Lancit and the world premiere of M Woods' *Stuck in the 90's*. M. Woods will appear in person at both screenings. Fugue State, a project of Disassociative Productions, is a traveling multimedia festival of experimental, radical, political, and avant-garde cinema with previous screenings held at the NY Film-Maker's Coop, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Elastic Arts Foundation (Chicago), and Comfort Station (Chicago). M Woods, multi-disciplinary artist and founder of the festival, created the platform as a direct attack at the gate-kept, corrupted, and cronyistic film festival circuit. Showcasing work that transgresses formulaic cinema, Fugue State seeks to usurp institutions backed by blood money, conspiratorial networks, and corporate dollars, remaining opposed to the not-for-profit industrial complex while offering a fully independent alternative. --- March 12th at NY Film-Maker’s Coop @ 7PM ET --- *Adjunct* by Drew Durepos (short) *Dirt* by Sylvia Toy St. Louis (short) *PLAY DEAD! *By Matthew Lancit (feature) --- March 13th at NY Film-Maker’s Coop @ 7PM ET --- *Mastalghia* by Charli Christine Marker (short) *Stuck in the 90’s* by M.

Anomalies from Baldwin’s Other Cinema* Presented in association with SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive Admission: FREE! A sprawling, wall-mounted display of calendars, flyers, and ephemeral miscellany drawn from the personal archives of obsessive self-documenter Baldwin, SF underground filmmaking legend. Curated by the artist and SF Cinematheque's Steve Polta. Since 1985, filmmaker, curator, underground archivist and radical cultural instigator Craig Baldwin has been presenting his curated Other Cinema screening series at San Francisco’s Artists’ Television Access. Presented on a schedule of thirty-six Saturdays annually, Baldwin’s OC constitutes one of the longest lasting and most influential microcinema series in the known universe. At its foundation, the stridently subcultural Other Cinema is built upon an ethos of uncompromising self-reliance, creative risk-taking and a vaudevillian approach to confounding the boundaries between high and low culture, leading, of course, to something only describable as “Other.” Like his films, Baldwin’s Other Cinema represents an unashamedly expansive approach to film exhibition, media consumption and cultural engagement in which abjected or otherwise ephemeral forms of film history coexist alongside expanded cinema performance, underground/experimental film fare, activist media, illustrated lectures, in-person artist presentations and more. In celebration of 40+ years of steadfast dedication—not to mention Baldwin’s recurring relationship as an SFAI adjunct (and his 1980 “performance art wedding” at the Institute’s koi pond)—San Francisco Cinematheque and the SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive present Ephemera Unearthed! an exploded view of Other Cinema’s history, a sprawling wall-mounted display of countless calendars, fliers and ephemeral miscellany drawn from the personal archives of obsessive self-documenter Baldwin, curated by the artist and Cinematheque’s Steve Polta. (Text adapted from "Craig Baldwin: Avant Savant" by Brett Kashmere and Steve Polta, published 2023 in *Craig Baldwin: Avant to Live!*) *The voice of these communiqués is immediately recognizable: acidic yet affable; equally given to conspiracy and celebration, musings and militancy; informative, even learned in a kind of crank cabbalist fashion, but pitched with carney-barking vigor. If the exclamatory style is sometimes tongue-in-cheek, it’s also a way of keeping the faith with cinema’s earliest beginnings as an attraction […] The subject matter may lean esoteric, but Baldwin enjoys an adman’s knack for catchy alliterations. […] The playfulness of this phraseology should not obscure an earnest countercultural drive to develop new rituals and language. […] To be sure, the Other Cinema calendars tell you much more than what’s playing when. Baldwin’s is a riotous film history, thriving on scrappy insight and the accidental action of dérive. Hopscotching between different moments and modes of cinema, with the typically ignored hinterlands of industrial, educational and amateur film all given serious thought, the calendars reflect an incredible, almost lunatic dedication to discovery. Accordingly, they remain invitations long after going out of date.* (Max Goldberg: “Time After Time: Craig Baldwin’s Other Cinema Calendars."

Many of his films chronicle the picaresque adventures of a wacky protagonist and use disjunctive editing strategies to construct new time and space relations…. But perhaps their best-known feature is the use of distorted, funhouse mirror-images, which he created by shooting with an anamorphic lens. […] In his films, he investigates extreme states of consciousness, and the primary tool of his epistemology of irrationalism is the photographic image distorted and transformed to register the impact of those states.” –R.

They are also, like their contemporaries the Wooster Group and Richard Foreman’s Ontological-Hysteric Theater, a downtown institution, having spent their formative years at La MaMa and the Public Theater (which was also the site of the initial incarnation of Anthology!) before finding a permanent home at PS 122 (now 122 Community Center), where they still reside. This series explores the company’s little-seen forays into film, including the new wave-inspired, Breuer-directed *MOI-MÊME*, featuring a brief cameo by Jean-Luc Godard, which the group shot in Paris in 1968 before officially forming the company (but which was only recently resurrected and reimagined by Breuer’s son Mojo Lorwin); the *RED HORSE* (1974) and *B. BEAVER ANIMATIONS* (1979), two of the company’s first experiments with video; JoAnne Akalaitis’s feature film version of her Obie-winning play *DEAD END KIDS* (1986), which takes a darkly comic and philosophical approach to the prospect of nuclear Armageddon (and boasts a soundtrack by David Byrne and Philip Glass); and filmmaker Jill Godmilow’s epic, six-hour, fly-on-the-wall documentary *LEAR ‘87 ARCHIVE* (2001) (never-before-screened theatrically), which follows the rehearsal process for the company’s ground-breaking gender-reversed version of Shakespeare’s *KING LEAR*, directed by Breuer and starring Maleczech. In addition to the aforementioned artists, the films in this series feature Mabou mainstays Honora Fergusson, Ellen McElduff, Greg Mehrten, Maude Mitchell, Fred Neumann, Terry O’Reilly, Bill Raymond, and many other legends of downtown theater.

These films toggle between representation and abstraction as he uses magnifiers, lenses and other objects to twist and bend the urban landscapes of New York City, Paris, Belfast and other cities. Juxtaposing the familiar and the unexpected, this work reveals an idiosyncratic view of city vignettes captured while wandering, camera in hand, eyes open wide. Street's films will be followed by a selection of city-themed shorts from the Canyon Cinema collection curated by Street in collaboration with Brett Kashmere, Zachary Epcar and Ashley Rose Tacheira. A Q&A and discussion with Street will conclude the screening. *River of Days* by Mark Street (2025, 7 mins.) *all day and all of the night* by Mark Street (2025, 13 mins) *Lunette* by Mark Street (2024, 8 mins.) *Clear Ice Fern* by Mark Street (2023, 12 mins.) *The Grain of Belfast* by Mark Street (2022, 6 mins.) *An Insomniac's Reward* by Mark Street (2026, 6 mins.) *Homage to Jean Tinguely's Homage to New York* by Robert Breer (1968, 9.5 mins.) *Feriado* by Azucena Losano (2021, 2 mins.) *Manhattan One, Two, Three, Four* by Tomonari Nishikawa (2014, 3 mins.) *New York (Near Sleep) For Saskia* by Peter Hutton (1972, 10 mins.) ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* No Name Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=0cf65877dd&e=857b71a9cb> 7pm MDT, No Name Cinema, 2013 Pinon Street, Santa Fe, NM *The short films of Ella Morton* Ella Morton is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker whose expedition-based practice has brought her across Canada, Nordic Europe, Greenland, Latin America, Australia and Antarctica. Working primarily with lens-based media, she uses experimental analogue processes to capture the sublime and fragile qualities of remote landscapes. *An Uncertain Eternity* (2025, 36 min): follows the journey of icebergs that travel from Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland to the East coast of Newfoundland in Canada. Narrated by Greenlanders and Newfoundlanders, this film explores the political, social, and spiritual implications of the icebergs and how they are changing as the planet warms. *Crushed Between Ocean and Sky* (2023, 25 min): In late 2021, I set out on a unique sailing journey on the tall ship Bark Europa from Uruguay across the South Atlantic Ocean, towards South Georgia and Antarctica. For myself, the voyage was a long-awaited way of celebrating life again after my mother’s death in the spring of 2020. The crew and guests came from all over the world, and each had their own reasons for making the trip, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. One week into the trip, the ship ran into a massive storm and the main mast was struck by lightning. The intended itinerary was cancelled and we spent the next two weeks sailing directly to our end destination of Ushuaia, Argentina. This story is told by crew and passengers aboard the ship during the two weeks sailing towards Ushuaia after the lightning strike. *Wanderer* (2024, 12 min): A music video for Linda Catlin Smith’s contemporary piece, *Wanderer*. Performed by the Thin Edge New Music Collective in Toronto and filmed on location in the Faroe Islands. *SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2026* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Pacific Film Archive <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=23c4be4e7b&e=857b71a9cb> 3pm PT, BAMPFA, 2155 Center Street, Berkeley, CA *Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and Luminous Procuress* Kenneth Anger filmed *Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome* at artist Renate Druks’s 1953 “come as your madness” costume party in Hollywood, using vivid color, dramatic lighting, editing, and superimposition to enhance the atmosphere of the trippy ritualistic bacchanal. As Steve Seid wrote, “*Luminous Procuress* brazenly recounts the mystical passage of two lissome hippie lads who enter a strange mansion, where a magic potion promises glimpses of a transformational realm. Led by the mystical ‘Procuress’ (the ever-sculptural Pandora), the two naïfs are privy to a delirious vision of consciousness unbounded by gender or desire . . . an exotic amalgam of outrageous wearable art, oneiric imagery, and erotically charged tableaux—gloriously drags on.” *Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome*, Kenneth Anger, United States, 1954/66, Color, 16mm, 38 mins *Luminous Procuress*, Steven Arnold, United States, 1971, Color, DCP, 75 mins ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=da1bf3a3ee&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco, CA *LIVING CURIOSITIES!* A KINGDOM OF NOT RETROSPECTIVE Kingdom of Not – largely the creation of absurdist writer/performer Dan Carbone and surrealist cartoonist/one-man band Andrew Goldfarb – present their very own Cabinet of Film/Video Curiosities, with works by The Residents, Mike Kuchar, The Slow Poisoner, Bulk Foodveyer, and Dan Carbone.
