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.

Years in the making, the latest bilingual (!) issue of the Canyon Cinemazine compiles cinematic artifacts and ephemera, newly-translated reprints of previously-buried historical texts, and has commissioned a dozen new first-person testimonials about Mexican microcinemas, independent experimental film spaces, cinephilia, and cinema-going. The 200+ page volume concludes with a landmark mediagraphy inventory and accounting of films made by current and former Canyon filmmakers which were shot and/or completed in Mexico!

Expanded editions include stickers, a dossier on Gelsen Gas’s 1968 experimental feature film ANTICLÍMAX, and an audio cassette reissue of the ANTICLÍMAX soundtrack.
