Hollyweird Though commonly associated with commercial filmmaking, Los Angeles is also home to some of America's pioneering experimental directors, including Maya Deren and Kenneth Anger. Both Deren and Anger forsake linear narrative: The former does so with high-art hybrids incorporating dance and surrealism; the latter with camp visions of pop iconography and gay sexuality. Deren's classic Meshes of the Afternoon and Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome are part of a two-hour, four-film program screening at 7:30 p.m. at the Pacific Film Archive, 2626 Bancroft Way, Berkeley. Tickets are $5.50; call (510) 642-1124.
