Los Angeles Filmforum and Mezzanine present Light Field in Los Angeles!
All 16mm prints! Dedicated to the memory of Amy Halpern. (In person: To Be Announced)
LA Filmforum and Mezzanine are delighted to present the inaugural L.A. screening with Light Field, an annual artist-run exhibition of recent and archival moving-image art on celluloid, traditionally held in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2016, the Light Field festival is collectively organized by a motley crew of practicing artists, poets and filmmakers: Samuel Breslin, Emily Chao, Zachary Epcar, Trisha Low, tooth, Syd Staiti, and Patricia Ledesma Villon. All of the works in this show will be 16m prints!
The Bay Area has had a long and storied tradition of alternative moving-image exhibition, one that has been negatively impacted by recent developments including the closure of SFMOMA’s film program and the impending renovation of the historic Castro Theater. In spite of a global pandemic bringing further pressures to real estate and cost of living—not to mention the exhibition of artist’s cinema—the spirit of collective action and ambitious film curation have continued to find a home in Light Field. The group is unique in their desire to place both recent and archival experimental films into conversation with each other, and to always prioritize a multiplicity of aesthetic and curatorial viewpoints. This program has been curated by the members of Light Field. – Micah Gottlieb
