California Dreaming
curated by Ariel Teal

Friday, January 12: CAVE Festival in Minneapolis
Saturday, January 21: Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles

The Echo Park Film Center co-op is comprised of California natives, transplants to California and those who have left California. We have all tried to achieve our myriad, differing and overlapping dreams in a state that has promised us sunny days, stardom and fulfillment. This program will feature experimental films that explore various notions of the “California Dream.” Works screened on video in Minneapolis, on 16mm, super 8, and video in Los Angeles. Filmmakers in attendance!
