History
Canyon Cinema existed for a number of years as a "floating cinematheque", a series of informal screenings that were held in the backyard of filmmaker Bruce Baillie's house in Canyon, California. The group's offices soon moved to the basements and backyards of other Bay Area artists and filmmakers.
In 1967 the founding articles of incorporation of "Canyon Cinema Inc. (A Non-Profit Corporation)" named Larry Jordan as president and Earl Bodien as secretary. The founding directors were Jordan, Ben Van Meter, Robert Nelson, and Bruce Baillie. After the first election, the directors became: Jordan, Van Meter, Emory Menefee, and Loren Sears. Bruce Conner was also associated with the cooperative at this time.
On February 18, 2012, Dominic Angerame was interviewed by The New York Times about the financial difficulties of Canyon Cinema.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
