About the event
In its dedication to exhibiting works of aesthetically radical cinema from all historical eras and geo-political locales, Cinematheque cultivates the international field of artist-made cinema, inspiring aesthetic dialog, and critical discourse and encouraging appreciation across the broader cultural landscape. Inaugurated in 2010, CROSSROADS is San Francisco Cinematheque’s annual film festival, dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary avant-garde film, video and performance work. CROSSROADS is curated annually by Cinematheque’s Artistic Director Steve Polta.
CROSSROADS 2025 is the sixteenth manifestation of Cinematheque’s annual film festival.
CROSSROADS 2025 features 47 works of film, video and performance by 47 artists representing 20 countries and territories presented in 8 curated programs. Weaving through this year’s lineup are alchemical, environmental evocations of utopian and dystopian realities; ruminations on the impermanence inherent in existence; transnational, transgenerational and even trans-species relations and expressions of vulnerability, resilience and political resistance culled from the world’s rotting image bank.
