The Dilexi Series is a collection of groundbreaking films that put art on television. A discussion panel will be led by former Pacific Film Archive curator Steve Seid, accompanied by Dilexi artists Anna Halprin, Philip Makanna, and Dilexi producer Jim Newman. The event is free and open to the public.
Broadcast across the Bay Area in 1969, the Dilexi Series includes work by Julian Beck, Walter De Maria, Kenneth Dewey, Robert Frank, Anna Halprin, Philip Makanna, Yvonne Rainer, Terry Riley and Arlo Acton, Edwin Schlossberg, Andy Warhol, William Wiley, and Frank Zappa. Commissioned by Jim Newman and KQED-9 TV, the Dilexi Series was visually original, thematically diverse, and subversive programming made with complete disregard for “good” TV.
The panel is presented in conjunction with WHEN THE MEDIUM WASN’T: San Francisco’s Dilexi Series. Curated by Steve Seid and co-presented with the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Screenings daily in MFA’s media room.
Admission free.
