CINE FANTOM

New Soviet Films and Videotapes

EYE GALLERY

1151 Mission Street

San Francisco, CA, 94103

Cine Fantom is a group of young film  and  video  makers from Moscow and Leningrad who have become active in  the recent years of Glasnost open­ness. While the group is  still working in the semi-underground and  having film festivals in their apartments, they are gaining visibility and might have their own theater soon. This evening’s program, made possible by Jürgen Brüning of Hallwalls,  presents 13 films and  videotapes (all will be shown on tape). They have mostly been made on thread-bare budgets, and treat many previously taboo subjects with biting irony and formal daring.
