7:00 p.m.	Short Films by Rose Lowder Rose Lowder (France, 1979–2010)

Greta Snider is an experimental filmmaker who teaches at San Francisco State University.

French filmmaker Rose Lowder has made over fifty experimental films, many of them shot frame-by-frame in rural Europe. Scott MacDonald has observed, “The most memorable of Lowder's films are experiments in creating distinct visual experiences that, in their reduction of day-long phenomena into brief, precise, intense cinematic moments, sing the potential of an ecological film aesthetic.” 

A second program screens at San Francisco Cinematheque on October 14.
