Bring a blanket and a lawn chair to BAMPFA’s outdoor LED screen on Addison and Oxford Streets and enjoy the show!

This summer BAMPFA is thrilled to present three inspiring documentaries on their big, outdoor screen. They welcome audiences to celebrate the grit and vision of an array of artists, activists, and public servants from the Bay Area and beyond.

Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power

The outdoor screening series kicks off with local treasure Abby Ginzberg’s profile of Congresswoman Barbara Lee and her work to advance the policies that comprise the Democratic “For the People” agenda.

Sisters with Transistors

Bay Area composers Suzanne Ciani and Pauline Oliveros are central to Lisa Rovner’s exuberant Sisters with Transistors which The Arts Desk’s Owen Richards calls “a long-overdue tribute to the women that broke barriers in music, technology, and society as a whole.”

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution celebrates the importance of Berkeley’s Center for Independent Living, and the work of disabled activists like Judith Heumann and Denise Sherer Jacobson whose heroic efforts continue to make America more accessible for everyone.
