Kevin T. Allen’s film works are as deeply invested in the lives of material objects as in the persons and places they intimately depict. Screening are Allen’s Real West, on South Dakota ghost towns; Luthier, a portrait of an instrument builder; and Bridge, a sensory document of urban infrastructure. The works of Finley and Muse are “powered by the friction between despair and its antidote.” Falsework explores the restoration of the Presidio Pet Cemetery. Fat Chance, documents a shipwreck at Point Reyes. Manhole 452 speculates on the submerged histories of Geary Street. Imperfect City/Imperfect State archives vernacular roadside memorials.
