The history of film is usually told through cinema's machines and screens, but its material story also runs through the textile workshop.Celluloid is best known as the medium of analog cinema and animation, but it began as the material of another craft. Synthesized from cellulose originally derived from cotton, this early plastic stiffened shirt collars and replaced ivory in fashion goods and decorative objects before it carried photosensitive emulsion. Early cinema mechanics drew from a textile lineage: the Lumiere Brothers' Cinematographe used the claw of a sewing machine to thread ribbons of film.This presentation features celluloid as a material that has always straddled moving images and craft. It traces the surprising connections between cinema and textile-based making through the work of artists who make that material kinship visible. In Len Lye's cameraless animation, the filmstrip becomes a pliant length of fabric, dyed and stenciled into patterns that pulse on screen. In classical animation, the hand-inked and hand-painted cel reveals the delicate and gendered manual labor often likened to embroidery that underpinned popular cartoons. Among contemporary artists, including several featured in Video Craft, celluloid film is quilted, woven, and sewn into pieced tapestries and projected screens.The history of celluloid reminds us of the tangible fiber of analog moving images: an art form crafted from woven ribbons and patient handwork, from which the substance of cinema is spun.$10 General Admission, $8 Students/Seniors, MCD Members Free.Presented by Museum of Craft and Design

Safe Words returns to SF Eagle for We're Queer, as in Funny, this month’s edition of Safe Words Comedy Showcase. Up from LA, Diana Hong headlines a lineup built for sharp storytelling, queer absurdity, trans joy, and the kind of bar-show electricity that makes a Wednesday at the Eagle worth planning around. Adam Strawbridge, Gold E. West, and Woodlief McCabe round out the bill, with Geulah Finman guest-hosting the night.
Safe Words exists to create safe spaces for queer audiences and accelerate the careers of queer comedians.Your investment of a VIP or Pay What You Can General Admission ticket increases performer pay, let's us bring in more of the community, and broaden our impact.
This show is built for people who want sharp stand-up in a bar where queer audiences are actually at the center. People who want to uplift queer voices (allies) are warmly welcome too - just be sure to bring cash for tips! 😜
Expect a show with range: dry intelligence, intimate storytelling, quick left turns, and comics with genuinely distinct points of view rather than a showcase interchangeable cis-het dudes making the same jokes about... us - usually.
