Castro Street (film)
''Castro Street'' (1966) is a visual nonstory documentary film directed by Bruce Baillie. Summary Inspired by Satie, the film uses the sounds and sights of a city street—in this case, Castro Street near the Standard Oil Refinery in Richmond, California, complete with diesel trains and gas plants—to convey the street's own mood and feel as there is no dialogue in this non-narrative experimental film. Legacy In 1992, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The Academy Film Archive preserved ''Castro Street'' in 2000.

Canyon Cinema
Canyon Cinema is an American nonprofit organization for distributing independent, avant-garde, and artist-made films. After starting in the 1960s as an exhibition program, it grew to include a nationwide newsletter and a distribution cooperative. Its exhibition activities were split off to form the San Francisco Cinematheque. History Canyon Cinema informally began in 1960 as an exhibition outlet in Canyon, California. Filmmaker Bruce Baillie got a projector and army surplus screen to put on shows in his backyard. Chick Strand and Ernest Callenbach became involved, and they began holding screenings around the Bay Area. Early programming included popular cinema, particularly from Castle Films, and avant-garde cinema but over time came to focus exclusively on the latter. Callenbach, an editor for ''Film Quarterly'', had the idea to publish a regular newsletter. The first issue of the ''News'' came in December 1962, and the publication later became the ''Cinemanews'' and the ''Canyon ...
