Details
The San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) Film Department was founded in the late 1960s by Robert Nelson and Lawrence Jordan and for over 50 years attracted young artists who were excited by film’s potential for personal and poetic expression. The exceptional faculty — George Kuchar, Gunvor Nelson, Ernie Gehr, Al Wong, Janis Crystal Lipzin, Steve Anker, and the department’s founders — encouraged students to find their personal voices and stretch artistic boundaries in daring ways reflecting San Francisco’s spirit for freedom of lifestyle and radical experimentation. This first of two programs, curated by Steve Anker and Mark Wilson, includes films that were made between the 1970s and 2000s by alumni and affiliated institute figures at SFAI or later in their careers. Personal Voices focuses on portraits of people and places. It features work by Peter Hutton, Curt McDowell, Diane Kitchen, Janis Crystal Lipzin, Scott Stark, Dicky Bahto, Tony Wu, and others to be announced.
