CULTURAS IN VITRO
A Film Fest That Transcends Films
"Technology has made moviemaking tools more accessible to artists," said Gregory Cowley, director and curator of the San Francisco-based festival, which runs Wednesday through Saturday at various Bay Area venues. "As a result, the cinematic experience is changing. It's no longer two-dimensional."
Works on exhibit during the festival -- which features screenings, talks, installations and performance pieces by a number of interdisciplinary artists -- range from nightclub-style visuals by Grant Davis (aka VJ Culture) of Dimension7 to Interstice, an immersive sound-and-light installation by Chris Musgrave.
