About the seller:
Anthology Film Archives evolved from roots and visions that go back to the early Sixties, when Jonas Mekas, the director of the Film-Makers’ Cinematheque, a showcase for avant-garde films, dreamed of establishing a permanent home where the growing number of new independent/avant-garde films could be shown on a regular basis.This dream became a reality in 1969 when Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Jonas Mekas drew up plans to create a museum dedicated to the vision of the art of cinema as guided by the avant-garde sensibility. A Film Selection committee — James Broughton, Ken Kelman, Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas and P. Adams Sitney — was formed to establish a definitive collection of films (The Essential Cinema Repertory) and form the structure of the new institution.
Anthology Film Archives opened on November 30, 1970 at Joseph Papp’s Public Theater. Jerome Hill was its sponsor. After Jerome Hill’s death, in 1974 it relocated to 80 Wooster Street. Pressed by the need for more adequate space, it acquired in 1979 Manhattan’s Second Avenue Courthouse building. Under the guidance of the architects Raimund Abraham and Kevin Bone, and at a cost of $1,450,000, the building was adapted to house two motion picture theaters, a reference library, a film preservation department, offices, and a gallery.
At the Courthouse, Anthology has found an ideal home as a chamber museum, dedicated to the preservation, study and exhibition of independent and avant-garde film. It is the first museum devoted to film as an art form, committed to the guiding principle that a great film must be seen many times, that the film print must be the best possible, and that the viewing conditions must be optimal.More activities by this seller:

6:00PM NEWFILMMAKERS MIDDLE EAST DOCUMENTARY SERIES
Writer, director, producer and editor Bruce Barrett delivers his debut film “The Billboard From Bethlehem,” a stunning and timely documentary about the owner of an American billboard company who engages Israeli soldiers and Palestinian resistance fighters.
The film weaves poignant interviews, historical footage, powerful music, and stories of personal transformation into a vision for the Holy Land, climaxing when 100 Israeli and Palestinian children in the West Bank paint a giant “peace mural” billboard that visits a mosque, synagogue, and church before finally being posted on a busy American highway.
