Along with her husband the poet Willard Maas, Menken was a founding member of the Gryphon Film Group. A selection of their rarely seen work includes Maas’ lyrical film Geography of the Body, filmed by Menken, and Boultenhouse’s mythical Dionysus. The screening will be introduced by Thomas Beard, editor of ‘Cinematograph 7—Live Cinema: A Contemporary Reader’ (San Francisco Cinematheque, 2008), founder and director of Light Industry, and programmer and researcher on the Gryphon Group.
