[Frameworks] Chicago 8 Small Gauge Festival West Coast Tour

[Karen Johannesen]

I'm very happy to announce I'll be sharing highlights of The Chicago 8
Small Gauge Film Festival in San Francisco and Los Angeles over the next
two weeks. I'll be stopping at: San Francisco Cinematheque, Echo Park Film
Center, Otis College of Art & Design and at CalArts, where I'm delighted to
also share a few of my own super 8 films. Each screening will be slightly
different.

The C8FF is an annual 8mm experimental film festival dedicated to
exhibiting current and historical small gauge works on *film*. Our goal is
to keep small gauge filmmaking alive, to encourage further activity in
small formats, and to provide an opportunity for these rare gems to be seen
by the Chicago community and *beyond*. We realize how delicate and
impermanent Super 8mm & small gauge filmmaking is, now more than ever. We
feel it is of upmost importance to share these films with you and along the
way we hope to inspire and support those who bravely continue to work in
these small formats.
