Anthology Film Archives: Auteur for a Day

Now in its fourth year, the event is meant as a celebration of the 8-millimeter, Super 8 or 16-millimeter reel (no video allowed), and the surprisingly universal conventions of amateur flicks.

Anthology Film Archives is an international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of film and video with a particular focus on American independent and avant-garde cinema and its precursors found in classic European, Soviet and Japanese film.

In addition to being a public movie theater, Anthology is a film museum, archive, research library, and art gallery. After 35 years in existence, Anthology remains the only non-profit organization of this type in New York.
