Unconventional, dynamic and innovative - this defines San Francisco's own Juxtapoz Magazine. In celebration of their 20th anniversary covering contemporary artists who push the envelope to redefine originality we're excited to share Juxtapoz Presents: Art Shorts which offers a selection of just that, short documentaries featuring a range of artists and works covered in the magazine. Among the films in the program are world premieres of "Cheech Marin: De Colores de Cheech" and "Robert Williams: Slang Aesthetics" plus surprise content, special treats and giveaways.
