Contraband Cinema

Is an Atlanta based microcinema safehouse based on, inspired by and executed under the guidance of Craig Baldwin's Other Cinema in San Francisco -- an ongoing series of experimental film, video and performance. Contraband Cinema strives to select the best work locally and around the world, transplant it to the south, and nurture it through close collaboration with regional filmmakers, curators and established film institutions.

Special thanks to Craig Baldwin, Andy Ditzler, Gideon C. Kennedy, Charles Judson, Gabe Wardell, Paula Martinez, Bradley Elfman (name), John Robinson and Mary Beth Byram for all the assistance in launching Contraband Cinema.

Contraband Cinema is operated by Marcus Rosentrater and Gideon Kennedy of Climenole.
