AFA 50TH ANNIVERSARY VIDEO PROJECT – COMPILATION PROGRAMS
April 14 – May 31
Last fall we put out a call to filmmakers, artists, colleagues, and friends for short video tributes on the occasion of Anthology’s 50th anniversary. The response was overwhelming, with almost 90 separate videos arriving over the past six months. These videos took a dizzying variety of forms, including numerous moving and heartfelt talking head testimonials, as well as collage films, poetic meditations, quasi-structuralist pieces, and other filmic homages to the spirit of Anthology and to the filmmakers who are our raison d’être. So many of the videos are of such a high creative caliber, essentially comprising new short films in their own right, that as the project winds down (at least in its virtual form…we can’t wait to screen them theatrically when the time comes!), we’ve decided to compile a selection of these into two compilation programs (organized alphabetically).
Program 1 features videos by Peggy Ahwesh, Stephanie Barber, Stephen Broomer, Jem Cohen, Martha Colburn, Manuel DeLanda, Nathaniel Dorsky, Bradley Eros & Richard Sylvarnes, Erin Espelie, James Fotopoulos, Su Friedrich, Carolyn Funk & Gina Telaroli, Sarah Halpern, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Ken & Flo Jacobs, Tom Jarmusch, Victoria Keddie, and C. Spencer Yeh. Click here to watch!
