SAN FRANCISCO CINEMATHEQUE PRESENTS:
APPARENT MOTION
Saturday 20-February & Sunday 21-February
Tickets: Apparent Motion celebrates the art of live image projection—the cinematic exhibition apparatus exposed as a primal light and sound machine, an invention without a future, ripe for rediscovery. Working with modified or distressed film projectors as if they were musical instruments or with live manipulation (even mutilation) of projected film (or even directly with the exalted beam of light itself), the artists presented over this weekend fuse image and sound into profound site-specific (yet cinematic) experiences—dazzling light works suggesting a paradoxically concrete form of sound/image synesthesia. From afar we welcome Abject Leader (Sally Golding & Joel Stern); Sandra Gibson and Luis Recorder; Karl Lemieux and Hyena Hive; and Bruce McClure, who will each present multiple works in the company of local artists CinePimps (Alfonzo Alvarez & Keith Arnold); Kerry Laitala and Michael Proft; Paul Clipson and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma; and Keith Evans. Collectively, this coterie of laudable lens-crafters will present a series of one-of-a-kind works assured to activate the exhibition space with bristling energy. It will be a weekend guaranteed to traverse the erotically sublime, confoundingly absurd, materially metaphorical and sensorial assaultive. Clearly, something for everyone is this mercurial menagerie. Program I Program II Program III Program IV

Wes
Keller lives in a world where oil has collapsed, the food supply has been
wiped out, and cancer rates for women have Skyrocketed. In
a barbaric environment where bio fuel, batteries, bullets are currency and
Marauders roam free, Wes searches for a world run on cold fusion “Plutopia,”
a place that may only exist in his mind. THE
BILL IS DUE. ‘Downstream’ is a view of the not so distant future. We
follow a young man as he pays the price for society’s decadence. ABOUT
THE PRODUCTION DOWNSTREAM was created by PHILIP Y. KIM, An imaginative original story debut from producer Philip Y. Kim is a thoughtful narrative about the end of the world, as we know it. This film was shot in the tradition of Sergio Leone and best characterized as homage to Rod Serling (“The Twilight Zone”) and George Miller (“Mad Max-Road Warrior”). Shot on location in Sonoma County, Lancaster, and Palmdale, CA, on a ambitious budget, “Downstream” was filmed in 25 days in the spring of 2008 and ranked among the first productions to begin principle photography on the RED ONE camera, only a prototype at the time, next to Fox Studio’s “Jumper” and Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience.” Advance tickets $10, Tickets at the door $12 Student/Senior $10 at the door

Formed in 2005, Rapid Transit is a unique mix of men and women with a diverse range of backgrounds and interests that reflect the spirit of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene. Unlike other local a cappella groups, we are not limited to one musical genre. We are not jazz, we are not barbershop, we are not R&B, but we draw from those traditions and create our own sound. We hate sappy, syrupy, schmaltzy a cappella music as much as you do. Probably more. We strive to be cutting edge. We strive to represent the bohemian culture of the local music scene, spanning all over the Bay Area with our sounds and beats. Rapid Transit is: Caitlin Fischer, Colm Davis, Anthony Galang, Emilie Rohrbach, Syreeta Mussante, Tree Dennis, Jonathan Leavey, Jenn Exley, Elana Segal, Ed Piou, Danny Olefsky, and Yumi Aikawa. www.rapidtransitacappella.com, www.myspace.com/rapidtransitacappella Hookslide is a high energy mix of mind blowing vocal beatbox percussion, booming bass and screaming four-part harmony that is guaranteed to knock you out.
