    Press release documenting screening of films by Warren Sonbert and Gunvor Nelson, May 6, 1990. Warren Sonbert (June 26, 1947 - May 31, 1995) was an experimental filmmaker whose work began in New York in the mid-1960s, and continued in San Francisco throughout the second half of his life. Sonbert taught filmmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Bard College at various times, and regularly reviewed classical recordings and opera, as well as film, for periodicals including The Advocate and the Bay Area Reporter. He died of complications from AIDS at his home in San Francisco in 1995. Swedish artist and experimental filmmaker Gunvor Grundel Nelson was born in 1931 in Kristinehamn, Sweden. Some of her most widely known works were created while she lived in the Bay Area in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, where she became well established among other artists in the avant-garde film circles.

In 1961, Strand established the Canyon CinemaNews, a monthly filmmakers' journal which became a focal point for the West Coast independent film movement and a precursor to the filmmakers' collective called Canyon Cinema founded by others, including Baillie, in 1967.
