- Anthology Film Archives
The home of experimental cinema in NYC. Anthology is a center for the exhibition, preservation, and s Founded in 1969 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P.
(702)
Anthology Film Archives is an international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of film and video, with a particular focus on independent, experimental, and avant-garde cinema. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage, Anthology in its original conception was a showcase for the Essential Cinema Repertory collection. An ambitious attempt to define the art of cinema by means of
a selection of films which would screen continuously, the Essential Cinema collection was intended to encourage the study of the medium’s masterworks as works of art rather than disposable entertainment, making Anthology the first museum devoted to film as an art form. The project was never completed, but even in its unfinished state it represented an uncompromising critical overview of cinema’s history, and remains a crucial part of Anthology’s exhibition program. In the decades since its founding, Anthology has grown far beyond its original concept to encompass film preservation; the formation of a reference library containing the world’s largest collection of books, periodicals, stills, and other paper materials related to avant-garde cinema; and a remarkably innovative and eclectic film exhibition program. Anthology screens more than 900 programs annually, preserves an average of 25 films per year (with 800 works preserved to date), publishes books and DVDs, and hosts numerous scholars and researchers. Fueled by the conviction that the index of a culture’s health and vibrancy lies largely in its margins, in those works of art that are created outside the commercial mainstream, Anthology strives to advance the cause and protect the heritage of a kind of cinema that is in particular danger of being lost, overlooked, or ignored

NORTH AMERICAN THEATRICAL PREMIERE!
SPACES OF EXCEPTION investigates and juxtaposes the struggles, communities, and spaces of the American Indian reservation and the Palestinian refugee camp. The film was shot over the course of four years in Arizona, New Mexico, New York, and South Dakota, as well as in Lebanon and the West Bank. Directed by Matt Peterson and Malek Rasamny, SPACES OF EXCEPTION attempts to understand the significance of the land – its memory and divisions – and the conditions for life, community, and sovereignty. SPACES OF EXCEPTION emerged out of the long-term multimedia project “The Native and the Refugee”, which has been presented in more than a dozen countries, including within the refugee camps and reservations themselves, and comprises the feature film, numerous short moving-image works, and the book “The Mohawk Warrior Society: A Handbook on Sovereignty and Survival” (2023, PM Press).
“The impact upon an oppressed people of being fractured systematically from a sense of place tied to its collective identity and spiritual cohesion is a devastating refrain throughout the film. ‘In Navajo there is no word for relocation; to relocate means to disappear and never be seen again,’ says one Native American. […] SPACES OF EXCEPTION powerfully makes its point that the modes by which dehumanisation is enacted are all too typical among oppressors, and as such solidarity can be found for global resistance among all oppressed. Visibility and life itself become forms of resistance, under a politics of erasure that sees one’s very existence as a provocation – ‘the mere fact of my breathing in the heart of the camp,’ as one Palestinian woman puts it.” –Carmen Gray, SENSES OF CINEMA

Corita Kent, formerly Sister Mary Corita, is widely known for her exuberant serigraphs, inspired teaching methods, and lively art classes at Los Angeles’s Immaculate Heart College art department in the 1950s and 1960s. Corita was an enthusiastic photographer who shot thousands of 35mm slides documenting the art department’s activities, the urban landscape of Los Angeles, advertising, supermarkets, cookies, coke bottles, experiments, flowers, folk art, visits with Charles and Ray Eames, street signs, kites, and much more. The new book, “Ordinary Things Will Be Signs for Us” – edited by Julie Ault, Jason Fulford, and Jordan Weitzman, and published by J&L Books and Magic Hour Press – combines over 300 of Corita’s photos, annotated with excerpts from her writings and interviews.
This Friday, October 13, to celebrate the release of “Ordinary Things Will Be Signs for Us”, two rarely-seen short films about Corita will be screened. The event will be hosted by the book’s editors, Ault, Fulford, and Weitzman, as well as contributor Olivian Cha, of the Corita Art Center, and will be followed by a reception. Books will be available to purchase.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER
October 6-12
REVIVAL RUN – BRAND NEW RESTORATION!
Anthology is overjoyed to revive one of our very favorite films, the utterly singular, peerlessly eccentric Unidentified Film Object, THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER. One of the strangest films ever to emerge from the margins of Hollywood, it’s a movie that could only have sprung from the warped mind of the great Timothy Carey.
A wild, unstable specter haunting Hollywood throughout the 1950s-70s, Carey cobbled together a career as a character actor with bit parts as heavies and hucksters for Kubrick, Cassavetes, Brando, and others, his indelible, unstable screen presence suggesting there was always a madness to his Method. He brought that same volatile energy to his first film as director (and writer, producer, and eventual self-distributor), a berserk parable about a bored insurance salesman who quits his job, forms a rockabilly band/religious movement, rechristens himself “God,” and winds up frontrunner for President, using his newfound power to sleep with women aged 14 to 92. A vanity project-cum-labor of love with little regard for good taste or common filmmaking rules, THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER would later find fans in Martin Scorsese and Will Oldham but didn’t break through to the grindhouse circuit upon release. Beloved by a growing legion of dedicated fans over the years, and newly restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation, THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER is back, in all its head-scratching glory!
With Timothy Carey. Restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. Special thanks to Romeo Carey.

“I LONGED TO CHERISH MIRRORED REFLECTIONS”: BLACK WOMEN, REFLECTED
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
THURSDAY, SEPT 21 @ 7:30
DREAMING RIVERS mediates how a Black mother is perceived by herself and her children, while negotiating their positions as Caribbean immigrants in 1980s Britain. AURORA operates through a similarly prismatic perspective by observing three Afro-Cuban women of different ages in the intimate gestures of putting on makeup, smoking a quiet cigar, singing a song. A tribute to the gorgeous mundane, FANNIE’S FILM honors invisible labor and uncontainable dreams as the 65-year-old protagonist expresses nothing but satisfaction with her life. NOTRE MÉMOIRE and THE ANCESTORS CAME are both tributes to the performative and creative flair of now-elders Mbissine Thérèse Diop – the star of Ousmane Sembène’s LA NOIRE DE… (1966) – and multi-disciplinary artist Faith Ringgold. Finally, the genesis for the program, BACK INSIDE HERSELF, crafts a poetic tribute to Black women’s interiorities and liberated self-perceptions.

's Narrow Rooms Film Series welcomes Canadian writer/director to present his thriller M/M (), which first premiered at in 2018 and stars Antoine Lahaie and Nicolas Maxim Endlicher as two young men who wind up in a dangerous power struggle in decadent Berlin. Influenced by Euro-thrillers like POSSESSION, DON'T LOOK NOW, and BAD TIMING, as well as the director's own experiences observing how people reinvent themselves in Berlin, it's a compelling and creepy debut from a filmmaker we're sure to be seeing more from soon.
———
Matthew is a young Canadian new to Berlin. He’s come to make a fresh start, but he feels the isolation of living in a strange, new city. When he meets Matthias, he is entranced. Beautiful and charismatic, Matthias is everything Matthew wants to be. Soon Matthew's interest escalates, becoming an obsession. He begins to transform himself to embody the object of his desire, cutting his hair, getting new clothes. When Matthias gets into a motorcycle accident, the opportunity is too perfect. Matthew is Matthias. In a coma in the hospital, Matthias' waking life, dreams and memories blur. Where the real ends, the artificial begins.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!
“I LONGED TO CHERISH MIRRORED REFLECTIONS”: BLACK WOMEN, REFLECTED
Although Black women filmmakers could never be reduced to a monolith, a thread that runs through many of their cinematic experiments is an autonomous claim on the means of representation. Ranging from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, the independent short films presented in this program provide insight into how Black women have seen, shown, and reflected themselves and each other.
In a 1998 essay titled “Naked Without Shame: A Counter-Hegemonic Body Politic”, bell hooks wrote beautifully and painfully about the damaging effects of living under white supremacist patriarchy for the selfhood of Black women. An answer to her wish – “I longed to cherish mirrored reflections” – might be found in these films by Black women who look through a lens that is loving, mournful, celebratory, understanding, urgent, and cherishing.
Guest-programmed by Yasmina Price, who wrote the introduction above.

PAUL ROBESON: “I’M A NEGRO. I’M AN AMERICAN”
SPECIAL REVIVAL RUN!
4K restoration by the DEFA Foundation in Berlin, Germany, with new English subtitles by the DEFA Film Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Co-presented with the DEFA Film Library and the German Film Office, an initiative of the Goethe-Institut and German Films.
This 1989 documentary – made by East German film director Kurt Tetzlaff, and newly restored by the DEFA Foundation – is a cinematic homage to the African-American singer, actor, and civil rights activist Paul Robeson (1898-1976). The film tells his story in non-chronological order, using a compilation of materials: rarely shown historic footage, photographs of the U.S. civil rights movement, speeches, performances, and visits to East Germany and the Soviet Union. Interviews with Paul Robeson Jr., Earl Robinson, Pete Seeger, and Harry Belafonte give insight into the courageous life of a true Renaissance man. Co-produced by the GDR’s DEFA Studio for Documentary Film and the West Berlin production company Chronos, with scenes shot in the U.S., the film reflects the efforts by East German officials to present Robeson – often referred to as a “voice of the other America” – as a poster child for GDR solidarity with the U.S. civil rights movement.
From any perspective, the film stands as an elegant, revealing, and powerful portrait of a towering figure in American culture, society, and politics. Revisiting episodes in Robeson’s life, drawing attention to his performances and writings, and confronting the virulent racism and anti-communism he faced in the U.S., PAUL ROBESON: “I’M A NEGRO. I’M AN AMERICAN.” documents the life of a groundbreaking artist whose courage, tenacity, and passion remain profoundly inspiring.
The screening on Wed, Sept 20 at 6:45 will be introduced by Kevina King, Vice President of the Black German Heritage and Research Association. The screening on Sat, Sept 23 at 6:45 will be introduced by Professor Mariana Ivanova, Academic Director of the DEFA Film Library.

“Hilarious, shocking, and decades ahead of its time, TRICIA’S WEDDING is a mini-masterpiece of political theatre that brings together guerrilla drag, performance art, the burgeoning q***r aesthetic of practitioners like John Waters and Charles Ludlam, and demolishes them all in the process.” –David Serlin, UC San Diego
For the 50th anniversary of this q***r cinema landmark, come revel in the psychedelic debauchery as you’ve never seen it before, with a pristine new 4K restoration commissioned by Frameline and the OutFest UCLA Legacy Project and facilitated by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

SEPTEMBER 8-12
Retrospective: JAN SOLDAT
Few filmmakers have explored the subject of s*x as persistently, or in such a distinctive and unusual way, as Jan Soldat. Across more than 100 films, Soldat has devoted himself to mapping – with a radical lack of judgment and a profound yet unshowy empathy – the myriad forms that human desire can take, and the vast variety of s*xual practices that exist. Though s*x – sometimes in its more shocking manifestations – is almost always front and center, the act itself typically takes up only a small part of each film. Soldat focuses instead on the deeply human mixture of awkwardness, vulnerability, social protocol, and tentative connection that frames s*xual in*******se, and devotes much of the films’ running times to interviews with his subjects, who speak (eloquently) about their desires but also about their lives in general. Working in collaboration with his protagonists, Soldat has created a kaleidoscopic body of work that comprises a profound and empathetic investigation into the human body, desire, and the undeniable urge towards interconnection, both physical and emotional.
Please note: some of the films in this series contain graphic s*xual content, and certain viewers may find them disturbing.
Since 2011, each edition of the Viennale has featured the granting of the Viennale Erste Bank Film Award. Designed to showcase the best of Austrian cinema, the Award was founded by Erste Bank, the Viennale’s main sponsor, and is awarded according to the findings of an independent jury. The Award brings a cash prize as well as a residency as a visiting filmmaker hosted and organized by Deutsches Haus at NYU. The 2022 Award was granted to two films, one of which was Soldat’s BLIND DATE.
This program is co-presented by Erste Bank and Deutsches Haus at NYU, with additional support from the Austrian Cultural Forum New York.

CROSSROADS + THE EXPLODING DIGITAL INEVITABLE
In 1976 groundbreaking artist, collagist, sculptor, and filmmaker Bruce Conner released his magnum opus, a 36-minute assemblage of U.S. government footage of the iconic Bikini Atoll atomic bomb test. If Conner invented the modern found-footage film with A MOVIE in 1958, he re-invented it with CROSSROADS. His editing of the film’s brilliant “dual” score – by seminal minimalist composer Terry Riley and synthesizer pioneer Patrick Gleeson – evokes a surreal beauty latent in the devastating images that comprises one of the most profound meditations on the nuclear era extant.
Created by Ross Lipman – a filmmaker, performer, and archivist who is the author of numerous short experimental films, live lectures, and essay-films, including NOTFILM (2015) about Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton’s FILM, and who is responsible for restorations of numerous vitally important works including SCORPIO RISING, WANDA, KILLER OF SHEEP, and more – THE EXPLODING DIGITAL INEVITABLE (2017) is a documentary essay that takes CROSSROADS as its subject. Integrating an array of movie and audio clips, still photographs, and rare archival documents, it tells the story of CROSSROADS’ unique production, as well as the massive cultural spectacle of the original Bikini Atoll tests themselves – the most recorded event in human history. It also chronicles the extraordinary collaboration of Conner with Riley and Gleeson, including original interviews with both composers.
With Christopher Nolan’s OPPENHEIMER calling attention once again to the development of the atomic bomb, we thought it was high time for revival screenings of both Conner’s seminal film and Lipman’s fascinating chronicle of its production and historical context.

Narrow Rooms returns this Fall Season with two dark thrillers about men on dangerous quests through two urban gay meccas. First up, on Friday September 22nd, we're screening 's M/M (), a slow-burn psychological thriller in the vein of POSSESSION, DER FAN and BAD TIMING, which uses Berlin’s decadent nightlife scene as the backdrop for a nightmarish narrative of conformity, identity, masculinity, and alienation. Then on October 20th, we'll screen 's critically acclaimed thriller URBANIA, which stars Dan Futterman (Judging Amy) as a gay man despairing over a breakup who keeps running into characters who seem to have stepped out of popular urban legends during one very long dark night. Unseen on big screens in NYC since its release in 2000, it's ripe for rediscovery. Both features will be followed by Q&As with their directors, moderated by Narrow Rooms curator . Tickets are on sale now.

MOVE: CONFRONTATION IN PHILADELPHIA
First distributed by Mumia Abu-Jamal before his arrest and now nearing its 45th anniversary, MOVE: CONFRONTATION IN PHILADELPHIA (1980) comes to a New York City theater for the first time. The film charts the events in the summer of 1978 that resulted in the first siege by the Philadelphia police on the MOVE headquarters (an even more deadly and destructive siege would follow in 1985). Filmmakers Karen Pomer and Jane Mancini went to great lengths to expose the brutality that Philadelphia Police Commissioner, Frank Rizzo, inflicted on MOVE members Chuckie, Delbert, Janine, and Janet Africa, who survived only to serve nearly 40 years of collective prison sentences on falsified charges. These are some of the only recorded accounts that thoughtfully capture MOVE’s position toward (Black) self-determination, naturalism, and free nationalism. Co-director Karen Pomer will join us in person to introduce and answer questions following the screening.
This screening is guest-programmed by Melissa Lyde, founder of Alfreda’s Cinema. Launched in 2015, Alfreda’s Cinema is working towards becoming the only microcinema in Brooklyn to operate under the leadership of a Black woman with a mission to screen films that celebrate Black and non-Black people of color.

THIS FRIDAY! 9/22 @ 7:30 @adambaran 's Narrow Rooms Film Series welcomes Canadian writer/director @drewlint to present his thriller M/M (@mmthefilm), which first premiered at @slamdance in 2018 and stars Antoine Lahaie and Nicolas Maxim Endlicher as two young men who wind up in a dangerous power struggle in decadent Berlin. Influenced by Euro-thrillers like POSSESSION, DON'T LOOK NOW, and BAD TIMING, as well as the director's own experiences observing how people reinvent themselves in Berlin, it's a compelling and creepy debut from a filmmaker we're sure to be seeing more from soon. ——— Matthew is a young Canadian new to Berlin. He’s come to make a fresh start, but he feels the isolation of living in a strange, new city. When he meets Matthias, he is entranced. Beautiful and charismatic, Matthias is everything Matthew wants to be. Soon Matthew's interest escalates, becoming an obsession. He begins to transform himself to embody the object of his desire, cutting his hair, getting new clothes. When Matthias gets into a motorcycle accident, the opportunity is too perfect. Matthew is Matthias. In a coma in the hospital, Matthias' waking life, dreams and memories blur. Where the real ends, the artificial begins.

ALONG THE BODIES / ENTLANG DER KÖRPER (2022, 24 min, 35mm), screening Sat, July 30 at 5:30. "Antoinette Zwirchmayr’s collaboration with the Klangforum Wien, Austria’s famed soloist ensemble of new music, draws from French philosopher Jean Luc Nancy’s text 'The Extension of the Soul'. She creates a space of performance and sensuality in which dynamics of being and looking, the role of touch and corporeal interplay with musical instruments, challenge and tease our sense of both the nature and the artifice of what is before us, emanates from or connects to us, and lies latent and coiled inside." -Carmen Gray (translation Angelika Reitzer) Details here: https://bit.ly/3zyYAoh Tickets: http://bit.ly/AnthologyFilmTickets Links in bio
This weekend you have two chances to see Adam Kaplan and Gilad Baram ‘s experimental documentary THE DISAPPEARED in our IMAGELESS FILMS series: In the film, “two textures of blank screen—noiseless digital and fuzzy VHS—alternate against testimonies of an unreleased, big-budgeted feature-length work of Israeli military propaganda. The absence of visuals represents a movie unseen, as well as the undoing—at seemingly every step of the way—of a well-intentioned story aimed at combating suicide in the military. Gradually, thanks to 46 minutes of anecdotes, descriptions by those who took part, sound effects, and the film’s finished score, viewers might be forgiven for thinking they’ve actually seen clips from the shelved production. Furthermore, when pages of the script are read aloud at the end—a repeat of THE DISAPPEARED’s opening moments—a by-all-accounts misbegotten, ham-fisted, and to-date non-movie gets marshaled into something vital and emotive. In effect Baram and Kaplan have saved their source film from itself, encouraging and allowing the viewer to imagine a more effective picture in its void.” – Eric Hynes , Film Comment magazine Screening Friday 5/13 at 7:00 and Sun 5/15 at 8:30 Series details: https://bit.ly/Imageless2 Tickets: http://bit.ly/AnthologyFilmTickets

Join us for the U.S. theatrical premiere run of Ted Fendt’s OUTSIDE NOISE, starting tomorrow night, Friday 3/25! Three young women, Daniela, Mia, and Natascha, are adrift and casting about for a sense of purpose in contemporary Berlin and Vienna. Fendt’s peculiar cinematic gifts are fully in evidence here: a privileging of behavioral observation over plot, an extraordinary ability to capture subtle, fleeting moods and atmospheres, and a determination to conjure for his characters a filmic form that mirrors their perceptions and experiences rather than shoehorning their lives into conventional dramatic structures.

“In 2000, the Israeli Defense Forces produced a major feature film that tackled one of the army’s most taboo subjects, the rising number of soldier suicides. The film was titled “The Disappeared” (“Hane’elam,” in Hebrew) and starred Lior Ashkenazi, a well-known television actor who was angling to become a film star. Just weeks before the film’s planned release, the plug was pulled on the project for reasons that are still not entirely clear.” –A.J. Goldman, THE FORWARD THE DISAPPEARED, screening in our series of Imageless films, is Gilad Baram & Adam Kaplan ‘s experimental documentary unraveling the story of that film. Catch it tomorrow at 4:30. https://bit.ly/32PSsul http://bit.ly/AnthologyFilmTickets Gilad Baram Adam Kaplan
"EXPEDITION CONTENT's effect, then, is not only to reorient our senses, to make us listen more attentively, but also to sap some of the strength of the image, and so to force us to attend more closely to the dynamics of power that produced these records in the first place." –Leo Goldsmith, SCREEN SLATE https://www.screenslate.com/articles/expedition-content EXPEDITION CONTENT screens daily at 6:45 and 9:00 PM through Jan 13.

Need some oddball comedy this holiday week? Check out Hsin Chi’s FOOLISH BRIDE, NAIVE BRIDEGROOM (1967), streaming free! “Bun-tik is a naïve, dopey young man, who is aggressively chased by the women in his town, who are all oddly besotted with him. Bun-tik is only interested in one girl, the intrepid and mischievous Kui-ki, a modern woman in the context of 1960s Taiwan, when conservative family values and traditional beliefs governed much of societal activity. Bun-tik’s father and Kui-ki’s mother meet to discuss the possibility of the two young lovers getting married, but discover that they themselves were lovers 30 years ago. Both feeling scorned and blaming each other for the past, they oppose the marriage. Disregarding their parents’ wishes and tradition in general, Kui-ki and Bun-tik decide to elope…” –TAIWAN FILM FESTIVAL EDINBURGH Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/646554228 Series details here: https://bit.ly/HsinChiAFA #taiwanfilm #taiwanesefilm #filmpreservation #filmrestoration
THE BRIDE WHO HAS RETURNED FROM HELL screens online for free in our series 5 FILMS BY HSIN CHI! BEI Sui-mi becomes the new tutor for the WANG family in a bid to secretly investigate the death of her sister. After a series of hauntings occur in the house, Sui-mi discovers her sister’s diary and comes nearer to the truth of her death. An adaptation of the Gothic romance “Mistress of Mellyn”, THE BRIDE WHO HAS RETURNED FROM HELL is aesthetically expressionistic, while the creative mise-en-scène showcases the quality of Taiwanese-language productions. Amid modern elements such as suspense and murder, the story reflects a feudal context. Though superficially westernized, at heart it is essentially traditional, creating subtle but fascinating contradictions between the portrayal of modern women and the patriarchy which shadows them.

"Comparisons with visionary animators like Jan Svankmajer and the Quay Brothers might not be inapt, but they also won’t do the trick — these filmmakers have a perspective and a voice that feels entirely new. The film surprises, with incredible force, in every one of its 75 minutes." Glen Kenny, NY TIMES THE WOLF HOUSE screens this week in the theater! Thurs, 8/26-Sun, 8/29 at 7:00 & 9:00 nightly.

NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE ON SCREEN [ONLINE ONLY] August 25 – September 7 Online program, August 25-September 7 https://vimeo.com/ondemand/niki In connection with the exhibition at @momaps1 (“Niki de Saint Phalle: Structures for Life”), and the show opening September 10 at the @menilcollection in Houston (“Niki de Saint Phalle in the 1960s”), AFA is presenting a special online program showcasing a selection of short films made with or about Niki de Saint Phalle, including her Warhol SCREEN TEST, and two filmic portraits by François de Menil.

A neglected but major work! #nikidesaintphalle #momaps1 #menilcollection

Just over a week until our theatrical release of the new HD restoration of Patrice Chéreau and Hervé Guibert’s ‘The Wounded Man (L'homme blessé)’ at Anthology Film Archives on January 5th!!
Synopsis:
Henri is a frustrated teenager living with his parents in a provincial French coastal town. When they drag him to the train station to bid adieu to his sister, Henri sneaks off to a secluded bathroom and interrupts a hustler named Jean satisfying the masochistic desires of an older male client. Henri falls desperately in love with the s*xy criminal, but Jean evades Henri’s affections. Undeterred, Henri shadows Jean as he traverses the dark and dangerous underbelly of their sleepy village. But as he descends deeper and deeper into Jean’s world, there may not be an easy way out. Patrice Chéreau’s 1983 drama is a revelation: an amazingly accomplished work that genuinely channels the transgressive, unsanitized sensibility of Jean Genet, boasting a breakout lead performance by young Jean-Hugues Anglade and a script that took co-writers Chéreau and legendary gay French author and activist Hervé Guibert six years to perfect. The result is a rich, strange, and sumptuous film leading us to exhilaratingly mysterious and unfamiliar spaces both physical and psychological.

🔜 JONAS MEKAS - GUNS OF TREES, 23.12. um 20:30 Uhr
Am 24. Dezember diesen Jahres hätte Jonas Mekas seinen 100. Geburtstag gefeiert. Über Peter Kubelka dem Filmmuseum stets eng verbunden, würdigen wir den 2019 verstorbenen Filmemacher mit einem Screening von GUNS OF TREES, seinem einzigen Spielfilm. Wir zeigen eine kürzlich vom Anthology Film Archives restaurierte Fassung auf 35mm.
GUNS OF TREES ist gleichermaßen beeinflusst von der europäischen New Wave und dem amerikanischen Beat-Kino, eine Zeitkapsel des kulturellen Umbruchs und der aufkeimenden unabhängigen Filmbewegung der frühen 1960er Jahre. Aus der Zeit der Arbeit an seinem Film stammt auch die Schrift "While-'U'-Wait", die auf diesem Bild zu sehen ist und die Gefühlswelt dieser Epoche auf den Punkt bringt.
🎫 Karten können auf unserer Website gekauft und reserviert werden https://bit.ly/3Ao6xN2

To this day I think of lessons I learned from Barbara Hammer about the Bolex but also life. Some I didn't think of until years later. She reminded me on more than one occasion both by words and actions that film is an art and has value. I think a lot of us filmmakers need to remember that. I'm so happy to share her interview with you in "Beyond the Bolex"! Tickets are available through December 11th! https://bit.ly/3UZBdfv
