Cinemad: Craig Baldwin by Cinemad
All at once a filmmaker, archivist, culture jammer,
exhibitor, teacher and underground film historian, Craig Baldwin is one of the pillars
of the experimental film world. As a filmmaker, his landmark TRIBULATION 99
(1991) is a calculated frenzy of reworked found footage layered with every
conspiracy theory ever made forming a pitch-perfect statement of our times. He
hasn’t slowed down since, making four more features, a DVD label and running
Other Cinema in San Francisco's Mission District. A screening room with an
eclectic lineup programmed by Baldwin of beautiful art films and important
political works, OC finds the fringes of film and embraces them. We talk about
filmmaking and how to get unusual cinema to the masses.
