Bio:

Born in Oakland, California, underground filmmaker Craig Baldwin is well
known both as a filmmaker and a curator. His films have screened all over
the world, including The Roxie (San Francisco), Museum of Modern Art (New
York), Rotterdam, Oberhausen, and the New York Film Festival. He received
his Master of Arts from San Francisco State University under the tutelage
of Bruce Conner.

During his tenure at SFSU, he became increasingly drawn to collage film
form. His interest in the recontextualization of appropriated imagery led
him to the theories of the Situationist International, and to various
practices of mail art, 'zines, altered billboards, and other creative
initiatives beyond the fringe of the traditional fine-arts curriculum.
After several early photo-essay, installation, video, and super-8 projects,
he has focused on the production of 16mm film, often composed of found
footage.

He is currently working on Mock-Up on Mu, a sci-fi espionage compilation
narrative that traces the rise and convergence of New Age religous cults,
the military/aerospace industrial complex, and modern-day myths from Disney
to certain sci-fi overlords.
