"FRIENDLY WITNESSES: The Worlds of Warren Sonbert"
2000-10-26 until 2000-12-17
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA, USA

Warren Sonbert, an independent filmmaker renowned for his avant-garde, diarist style, began producing films in 1966. Originally inspired by American artists in Andy Warhol's circle, he eventually perfected a unique brand of montage informed by art and industry, news reportage and other contemporary issues.

The first major retrospective of Sonbert's work since his death in 1995, this series of film screenings presents a wide selection of newly restored works by Sonbert in tandem with films by some of his influences, including Gerard Malanga, Stan Brakhage and Alfred Hitchcock. All screenings will be held Sundays in the Phyllis Wattis Theater.
