Spotlight on Alee Peoples
Co-presented by Film on Film Foundation, Canyon Cinema and SF Cinematheque.
We welcome Peoples up from Los Angeles to present her complete body of 16mm films along with selections from the Canyon Cinema collection. Alee’s films are brim-ful of bold gestures, pointedly orchestrating performances and camera movements, views and edits, sound and image. What are her films about–planes, balloons, friends, traffic, pop music, the signs and billboards of LA? Sure, these are among the recurring environmental and cultural threads from which she weaves her cinematic scherzi. Most importantly, she is always playing, and she takes it seriously.
