City Slivers and Fresh Kills: The Films of Gordon Matta-Clark, published in the US by San Francisco Cinematheque. An incisive excavation of this great artist's cinematic oeuvre. As an accompaniment to Cinematheque's sold-out Matta-Clark retrospective, this dynamic exhibition catalog is the first publication to focus solely on the self-styled anarchitect's previously neglected film works. Featuring essays by Jane Crawford, Steven Jenkins, Jane Martin and Juan Manuel Simon-Barallobre, and sliced through with film stills and rare personal images, "City Slivers and Fresh Kills" will delight Matta-Clark enthusiasts as well as artists, architects and cineastes who appreciate the "cutting" in cutting-edge.

Passing Through: A Philip Hoffman retrospection, published in the US by San Francisco Cinematheque. A tender and true look at the Canadian filmmaker's deeply personal films. Published on the occasion of Cinematheque's recent mini-retrospective of Hoffman's work, the book features copious film stills, a filmography, an original essay by Robert Carl Craig, as interview between the filmmaker and Barbara Sternberg and the complete script to Hoffman's WHAT THESE ASHES WANTED.
