4 unusual facts about Craig Baldwin


Craig Baldwin

Though he finished his first 16mm film, Wild Gunman, in 1978, he had explored his (rather Situationist) desires to eradicate the borderlines between fine and popular art, public and private imagery, the political and the purely aesthetic in several film and photo-essay projects, notably Flick Skin (1977), a Super-8 film that Baldwin made while living in the projectionist booth at a porn theater.

Wild Gunman (1978) is an intense montage of cowboy images, pop-cultural scenes and advertising intercut with footage and images of the geopolitical crisis driven by cultural and political imperialism.

In 2008, Baldwin began screening his newest film, Mock-Up on Mu, a fictional story based heavily on the real facts of the lives of L. Ron Hubbard, Marjorie Cameron, Aleister Crowley, and Jack Parsons.
