This issue of the Canyon Cinemazine focuses on Print Generations, Canyon Cinema’s inaugural film commissioning project. Inspired by the 16mm Centenary (1923-2023), and borrowing its title from J.J. Murphy’s astounding structural showpiece, Print Generation (1974), the program supports analog-based filmmaking in the Bay Area. For this first iteration, three filmmakers—Tijana Petrovic, Amy Reid, and TT Takemoto—created new works that engage with the materiality of 16mm film. A new essay by S Topiary Landberg, about the Print Generations project and these newly commissioned films, highlights this tenth issue of the Cinemazine, alongside artist pages and process notes by the participating filmmakers.
