performance/installation techniques in their work:

Sink or Swim - An Outdoor Ephemeral Event of Film Projections and Installations Saturday, July 7th, 2001, Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, 8pm Presented by the San Francisco Cinematheque. And beautiful documentation of the event, worth a look for this aspect too.

Kathy Rose - fabulous work involving projection and live performance

Wet Gate - the All-16mm-Projectionist Ensemble. A great site with great film-performance content. "We perform pieces for multiple 16mm sound projectors as a "band", the machines and films as musical instruments."

Robert Schaller - San Francisco filmmaker/installation artist. Works include "Triptych," which uses three 16mm prints to be shown interlocked and other film performance works and installations. "Route 1000010" A van converted to a mobile movie, in and around Denver, Colorado, 1997. With fellow artist, Craig Coleman, etc.

A Peripheral Produce North American Film Tour - the short films and projector performances of Mad McCormick and Johnne Eschleman.
