Apologies for any cross-listing.
Dear Frameworkers,
These are screenings I wish I could attend, I studied with a number of
the professors whose lives have been rocked at their foundation as a
result of unjust termination of employment. If you can attend or make
a donation PLEASE do. Two former tenured faculty are losing their
houses right now because of this. For more information please see
below. If you can take a minute to re-post this event information
please do!

-- :Denah A. Johnston ABOUT THE SCREENING(S): The San Francisco Art Institute has had a long tradition of fostering the development of artists working with film and video in uniquely personal ways, and who have gone on to become successful artists, educators and curators. For many who have gone through the program, Janis Crystal Lipzin has been a strong mentor and role model. As an interdisciplinary artist committed to filmmaking she has created a body of work that utilizes alternative photochemical processes, installation and performance to explore personal, political and environmental issues. This program features her newest work, a handmade Super-8/digital hybrid entitled De Luce 1: Vegetare, alongside a decade’s worth of work by alumni including Alexis Bravos, Brian Traylor, Chris Kennedy, Christina Battle, Elizabeth DiGiovanni, Jeremy Menzies, John Palmer, Kai-Ting Chuang, Karen Johannesen, Rick Bahto, Tsen-Chu Hsu, and Vanessa O’Neill. Admission is sliding scale, starting at $6, please pay what you can afford. Proceeds from tonight’s program will be donated to the SFAI Faculty Union’s legal fund as they continue their struggle against the unjust layoffs of nine tenured faculty members, including Janis Crystal Lipzin. Arbitration begins on April 30, 2010 and the union needs to raise $10,000 to help defray the expected $50,000 legal bill. If you can't make it to the screening but would like to lend support to the Faculty Union in their struggle, donations of any size are much appreciated, and can be made directly to the Union at http://www.fusfai.com For more information, including advance program notes, please visit http://rickbahto.wordpress.com.
