Their eclectic programs continued until the organization ceased to exist in 1962. The reconvened Camera Obscura continues to present “unique, antique and experimental” films under the joint coordination of co-conspirators Amanda Salazar and Jonathan Marlow. CO-VII features an assortment of recent or restored films screening across seven programs 10- to 12-December in-between the Roxie Theatre and 518 Valencia!
