Other Cinema: ARCHIVE FEVER; REVIVAL HOUSE

Saturday, May 11, 2019, 8:30 pm

KASHMERE + GOLDBERG + MORRISON’s LETTER +
Tonight’s leap into the newly energized field of Film Archiving sports the erudite editor of the cutting-edge INCITE journal, Brett Kashmere, here to share Neither/Nor, his crucial research on folk libraries. One such case-study is focused on the very 16mmrepository under our microcinema’s floors! Brett’s take on the Anarchivist is answered by critic Max Goldberg’s report-back on the epochal California Light and Soundproject, in which the State’s museums and historical societies are called to digitize their A/V holdings for an accessible online collection. AND lo-and-behold the exquisite textures of The Letter(NorCal premiere), in which early cinema re-animator extraordinaire Bill Morrison has uncannily collaged 7 silents, intertwining love triangles and texts-by-mail. PLUS shorts by Kembrew McLeod (Mr. Rogers in Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), Stephen KaneNaeem Mohaiemen, Bruce Conner, and some small-gauge anomalies from under the floorboards! *$7
