A nonprofit organization, the festival has a longstanding tradition as a showcase for all genres of independent and experimental films. The tour is designed to provide wider exposure to independent and experimental filmmakers and to offer a representative sampling of the current state of alternative cinema. Films are not programmed by category, so each show is different. A mixture of awarded films and festival highlights will be shown in the two screenings at UC Davis. The screenings are sponsored by the Memorial Union Art Gallery and Campus Cinema. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call (916) 752-2885.
