Radical Light: Alternative Film And Video In The San Francisco Bay Area, 19452000, edited by Steve Anker, Co-Curator of Film at REDCAT, and Bay area curators Kathy Geritz and Steve Seid, is a rich compendium of essays, reminiscences and striking visuals that attests to the vital and varied experimental film and video scene that has existed in the Bay Area for more than half a century.  In conjunction with the book's release, Filmforum and other organizations are hosting a series of screenings highlighting an amazing range of work produced in the Bay Area over the past seven decades.

We are especially proud to be able to organize this screening as the final evening of a cluster of events taking place in January throughout the greater Los Angeles area celebrating the book and the legacy of alternative film & video in the Bay Area, with six different screenings: The UCLA Film & Television Archive (Jan 14 and 21), Filmforum (Jan 16 & 23), REDCAT (Jan 17) and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (Jan 20).

Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area Book, Film, and Video Tour was curated by Kathy Geritz and Steve Seid, Film and Video Curators at the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and Steve Anker, Dean of the School of Film/Video at California Institute of the Arts. The tour is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the William H. Donner Foundation. http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/

Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945-2000 (Berkeley: UC Press, 2010) is a kaleidoscopic collection of essays, interviews, photographs and artist-designed pages chronicling the vibrant history of experimental cinema in the San Francisco Bay Area. Encompassing historical, cultural and aesthetic realms, Radical Light features critical analyses of films and videos, reminiscences from artists, and interviews with pioneering film-makers, curators and archivists. Special section of ephemera  posters, correspondence, photographs, newsletters, program notes and more  punctuate the book's pages, giving a first-hand visual sense of the period. This ground-breaking, hybrid assemblage reveals how and why the Bay Area, a laboratory for artistic and technical innovation for more than half a century, became a global centre of vanguard film, video and new media.
