“Once again, OC proudly serves as the local host for the launch of Brett and Astria’s new INCITE edition! Perfectly timed between theWinter Olympics and the NBA’s March Madness is their sizzling hot Sports issue, packed with articles from Bryan Frye, Christina Battle, Walter Forsberg, et al. In fact we kick off with an illustrated preview of the journal, before moving to new video works by Anil Dash, Paper Rad, and the rarely seen Nathaniel Dorsky psychodrama A Fall Trip Home (in 16mm), thanks to our co-sponsors Canyon Cinema. Alex Johnston (in person) shares his Muhammad Ali shorts before James Blagden ’s Doc Ellis: LSD, Santiago Alvarez’ Cuban Olympics clip, Patrick Wilkinson’s FIFA exposé, the world’s best archer, extreme figure skating, and the NorCal debut of Brett’s own Cleaning the Glass, with Colin Kaepernick. ALSO: Greatest Of All Time sports GIFs (contest!), fan-made super-cuts, halftime cheerleaders from both Oakland and Dallas, behind-the-scenes of the 49er Jumbotron, and spectacular jaw-droppers from the 16mm Oddities cache of sportswriter Craig Baldwin. Go ahead and wear your team jersey!” -Other Cinema
