Wednesday, APRIL 20

Watch in stupefaction as Brooklyn-based film collector and tastemaker Movie Mike digs deep into his custom-tailored collection and yanks out a basket of 16mm rarities, incongruities and eyeball truffles. It’s the glowing celluloid orb you wish you had been born in, reignited for a new era:

You’ll see exploding solar systems, hand-cranked botany lessons, atomic splits, stop-motion dinosaurs, 1960s psychedelia relics, hilariously miscalculated PSAs, vintage time-lapse science documentaries - all in all, a soft womb of heavy petting for hungry and keen minds.

It’s gonna be Techniciolor, Freak-O-Rama, Schizo-tronica and Stereogamy all at once; a mellow wandering from around the periphery of the cage and back. (Furthermore, snacks and beverages will be available to those with the courage and the resources.)

Screening producer and film show host Movie Mike is a New York-based journalist, editor and photographer who has been archiving 16mm film for over 35 years. He was formerly editor of the film/TV production journal Millimeter and of Videoplay Magazine. Over the years, Mike has produced various film screenings for colleges, museums, community gardens, schools and pub back rooms. His work includes screening and lecturing at the Anthology Film Archives, Millennium Film Workshop and the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema.
