From the City of Angels to the City of Light, the filmmaker/programmer/film restorer Mark Toscano offers us in this program recently restored copies of Los Angeles artists' films.

The avant-garde cinematographic movement of Los Angeles has been for decades little studied and shown in comparison to the other two major US avant-garde centers New York and San Francisco. The city of Los Angeles has howver witnessed an extremely varied production and that has been the origin of a particularly influential culture of experimental film.

These eight films represent an admittedly small but eclectic sample of the historic experimental production in Los Angeles: from major works such as those of Chick Strand, Pat O'Neill and Thom Andersen to those of lesser known artists like Daina Krumins, Fred Worden & Chris Langdon, to short films rarely shown of Joseph Strick, Penelope Spheeris or Gus Van Sant.
