Craig Baldwin (b. 1952, Oakland, CA) is an experimental filmmaker who is best known for his eloquently provocative collage films that challenge the fine line between high and popular art. His outlandishly spectacular assemblages utter sharp, subversive commentary of contemporary consumerism and society. Baldwin pulls his digital sources from various overlooked corners of the image world and mixes with his own to construct narratives that address topics ranging from geopolitical crisis and conspiracy and copyright disputes, to mainstream media culture and the imagery of the middle class. He teaches at UC Davis and lives and works in San Francisco.
