Schnitzer Cinema: Black Maria Film and Video Festival

Wed, 05/13/2015 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

The 2014-15 season of the Schnitzer Cinema, curated by Cinema Pacific director Richard Herskowitz, is devoted to American experimental media, with a special emphasis on the history of American avant-garde film.

The Black Maria Film and Video Festival is an international juried competition with a mission to exhibit and reward cutting-edge works from independent film and video makers. The festival takes its name from the first motion picture studio, built by Thomas Edison in 1893, and is now in its thirty-third year and its sixth at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. This year’s selection will emphasize new experimental media, along with some documentary, animated, and narrative shorts.

Schnitzer Cinema screenings are free and include free popcorn and soda and are brought to you in partnership with Cinema Pacific and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
