Underground San Francisco filmmaker Craig Baldwin is a pioneering found footage artist working in the field of collage and appropriated imagery. Using scenes from mass media, pop culture, and educational films he creates fantastic satirical gems which break down the barrier of traditional cinema.

TRIBULATION 99: ALIEN ANOMALIES UNDER AMERICA
DIR. CRAIG BALDWIN | 1991 | USA | 48 MIN
Introduced by Craig Baldwin

A mélange of satire, political fantasy, and black comedy, upon its release in 1991, Tribulation 99 became an instant counter-culture classic. Craig Baldwin's masterpiece, Tribulation 99 is obsessively organized into 99 paranoid rants, parlaying every imaginable scrap of "found" footage, re-filmed TV, and industrial sound into a revisionist history of alien intervention in Latin America.
