On Saturday, December 6th from 5 – 8 pm, Cine-Gastronomy will bring together Bay Area artists and filmmakers for a sensorial evening hosted by 500 Capp Street, Canyon Cinema, and Southern Exposure.
Guests will experience a breathtaking live performance by Roco Córdova and an assortment of delectable films from Canyon Cinema’s legendary archive—by Les Blank, Naomi Uman, Emily Chao, Thom Andersen, Dorothy Wiley, Peter Kubelka, and others—paired with artist-designed small bites and drinks, created in limited editions by Connie Zheng, Palm Assembly (Ebti & Sylvia Hughes-Gonzales), Whitney Vangrin, Roshan Prieto (Chez Panisse) and Shirin Makaremi.
With food sponsorships by Chez Panisse, Fox & Lion, Kahnfections and Shapeshifters Brewery.
This holiday gathering expands the themes of Love Letters to Aliens, Southern Exposure’s concurrent exhibition, through sensory exploration, storytelling, and community connection. Expect an unfolding menu of artist-designed small bites, drinks, and filmic encounters—from sweet-and-salty memories of migration to the luscious disintegration of a strawberry sundae. Join us for an evening of art and conversations that linger on the tongue.
