YBCA Screening Room says…

Bruce Conner's appearance in Fog City Mavericks, Gary Leva's recent survey of San Francisco as a hotbed of cinematic ingenuity, represents but one facet of the Bay Area's rich contributions to underground filmmaking in America. These shorts from the '40s and '50s — including James Broughton's capricious Four in the Afternoon, Christopher Maclaine's poetic document of North Beach's soon-to-be-famous literary scene, Beat, and Sidney Peterson's ballet of superimposition, Clinic of Stumble — showcase the outgrowth of visionary talent that had already taken root in the region following WWII.
