Line 4: 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 (filmmaker)\|Robert Nelson]], and Bruce Baillie. After the first election, the directors became: Jordan, Van Meter, [[Emory Menefee]], and [[Loren Sears]].<ref>Scott MacDonald, ''Canyon Cinema: the life and times of an independent film distributor'', University of California Press, 2008, p16.
