OtherZine, the semi-annual 'zine of long-standing bastion of experimental film, video, and performance in San Francisco's Mission District, Other Cinema, is now accepting submissions for its nearing Issue #27! Whether avant-garde or engagé, our emphasis is on the radical subjectivities and sub-cultural sensibilities that find expression in marginalized cinematic genres, media archaeology efforts, as well as contemporary intermedia hybrids. We encourage cinema-related writings and artist projects that support these endeavors and other experiments in media culture-essays, articles, interviews, reviews (art, books, media, events), rants, videos, illustrations, images, and other articulated brainstorms!
