Since the 1940s, San Francisco has been both a haven and inspiration for an influential constellation of moving imagists. “Radical Light” \u00a0grows out of a decade-long research project into the history of experimental film and video in the Bay Area, helmed by curators at the Pacific Film Archive and CalArts. Showcasing a number of recently preserved prints, tonight\u2019s program explores the faces, places, and iconoclastic spirit of the region through films by the Miles Brothers, Jane Belson Conger Shiman, Alice Anne Parker Severson, Dion Vigne, Bruce Baillie, Robert Nelson, Mike Henderson, Scott Stark, and Leslie Thornton.<\/p>\n
