Picture Lock: That's a wrap!

"It was more of a family reunion than a film festival," said one of our distinguished guests from the Picture Lock weekend. 
And we couldn't agree more.

Coming down from the thrilling high of this four-day celebration of our Film/Video Studio Program, we'd like to thank each and every one of the artists and filmgoers who helped us commemorate the studio's 25th anniversary. It truly was a familial and joyous atmosphere–one that provided countless opportunities for past studio guests to mingle and enjoy the company of friends, colleagues, and supporters.

The conversations on-and off-stage were rich and generative in so many ways, as was the chance to share to so many new films developed here at and to dig into our vast archive to share that work with audiences. It was a very special weekend for artists and audiences alike, and it couldn't have happened without the support and enthusiasm of everyone who attended.

Below are just a small sampling of photos from the weekend. Keep watching as we'll have more to come.
