An Evocation Of Place

Film Program: An Evocation of Place McBean Theater, 2:00 p.m. Join us for an afternoon of lyrical short films that resonate with the power of place. In A Monumental Landscape (1989, 6 min.), Marina McDougall explores the anomalies of architecture and place specific to San Luis Obispo, CA, the small coastal town where she grew up. All My Life (1966, 3 min.), by Bruce Baillie, is a sunny film consisting of a single continuous camera movement along a flower-covered fence in Caspar, CA. Panorama (1982, 13 min.), by Michael Rudnick, chronicles the endless shift of light, reflection, and shadow made by clouds, sunsets, and moonrises along the San Francisco skyline. Natalija Vekic and Christian Bruno shot From Saturday to Sunday (2008, 5 min.) on two Super-8 cameras, then projected the films side-by-side, creating a call and response between their visions of Mexico City, Paris, New York, Budapest, and Northern California.
