CALL FOR ENTRIES HAS NOW CLOSED…THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUBMITTING!
Festival program will be announced in early March 2015.
Founded by filmmaker Bruce Baillie in 1961, San Francisco Cinematheque is the Bay Area’s premier venue for avant-garde/experimental, underground and personally expressive film and video work. In its steadfast dedication to exhibiting works of aesthetically radical cinema from all historical eras and geo-political locales, San Francisco Cinematheque celebrates the breadth and depth of this vibrant art form in all its myriad expressivities. Cinematheque seeks submissions of recent films and videos for CROSSROADS 2015, the sixth manifestation of our annual film festival to be held April 10–12 at San Francisco’s Victoria Theatre.
