​

   *    Q:  What is a “pre-screening selection”?

     A:  Arrive early and take in some video art!

Experimental media works often require different viewing environments. Some work might be theater-oriented and some work is more gallery-oriented. So we chose to approximate a gallery screening room by creating a somewhat looser environment to view certain works. Take time to (quietly) meet your friends, find your seat, and settle in while enjoying video art / art film selections on the big screen.
