4pm: Robert Schaller (Boulder, CO)

5pm: Lori Felker (Chicago, IL)

CELLULAR CINEMA XII: Roger Beebe, Multi-Projector Mayhem – April 17, 7pm (tickets)

At a separate venue, the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater in Uptown, we’ve invited guest artist Roger Beebe to present a solo show of his multi-projector work to close out the three day festival experience.
