Spring Film Series: visiting artist Craig Baldwin

Wednesday, April 1 | 8:30pm | $5

The Bridge is excited to welcome the infamous filmmaker, archivist and curator Craig Baldwin to our Spring Series!

As a filmmaker since the 1970’s, as well as the founder and head of San Francisco’s Other Cinema, Baldwin has made a career out of digging up and appropriating the forgotten and preposterous corners of American popular culture; everything from monster movies and educational films to conspiracy theories and secret historical figures have been given new life my Baldwin’s swirling phantasmagoric amalgamations. He’s also recieved notoriety for his 1995 documentary “Sonic Outlaws,” which detailed the legal battles that the band Negativland faced with their U2 parody, kicking of an ongoing and unresolved discussion over copyright issues and creators rights in new media culture.

You may have seen his film “Mock Up on Mu” or his program “Space Brothers and Others” at the 2008 Virginia Film Festival; now’s your chance to catch Craig in person as he presents a culture-jamming interventionist art happening at The Bridge, with some scenes from his documentary “Sonic Outlaws,” selections from the new Negativland DVD, a ‘greatest hits’ mashup, and more! Don’t miss it.
