The Bay Area's festival of experimental film on celluloid spans 50+ works across seven programs, including films by Mike Stoltz, KiotoAoki, Rhayne Vermette, and erica sheu, and archival work from Christina Battle, Gunvor Nelson, and Dorothy Wiley. Highlights include the film Palestine Will Win, a 1969 documentary by Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan, thought lost since 1972 and screened for the first timein 52 years; and an expanded cinema program by filmmaker Luis Macías.

Light Field is an international exhibition of recent and historical moving image art on celluloid, held in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is artist-run and collectively organized by Samuel Breslin, Zachary Epcar, Trisha Low, tooth, Syd Staiti, and Patricia Ledesma Villon.
