This project was originally conceived through a Kala Fellowship and residency as a way to publicly showcase emerging and established strains of expanded cinema and music collaboration in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to being a celebration of the form, the performance series serves to broaden the sampling of artists associated with the project, helping foster relationships between artists who hadn’t worked together previously, and to encourage a platform for the realization of new works.
