San Francisco, CA, 94133

Gene Barresi will be in person.

“Gene Barresi is best known for his mythic films and lyric documentaries. For 50 years his breathless, wondrous, amazing motion-pictures have been transmitted throughout the galaxy — dazzling the optic nerves of many worlds. During the last quarter of the 20th century his work has helped guide the first generation of filmmakers who consciously and systematically fabricate realities aimed at raising intelligence and providing successful, happy, evolving models.” – Pauline Kael, Cahiers du Cinema, 1988
