After nearly 20 years of service to independent filmmakers from around the world, Canyon Cinema continues to distribute one of the broadest and most exciting collections of personal films available today. Tonight’s program is one of two (the other at the P.F.A., Berkeley, on Tuesday Nov. 29th at 7:00 P.M.) celebrating Canyon’s new Catalog Supplement. Each program, selected by Michael Rudnick and Steve Anker, contains films made during the last three years that are included in this publication.
