This is the little drop-in we did with Tom Stathes, curator/archivist/projectionist of NYC’s biggest private collection of 16mm cartoons. The collection in his house in Flushing, Queens has over 800 cartoon reels, which he’s been collecting since the age of 10.

This Saturday, Cinebeasts is proud to present the fifth edition of his traveling roadshow: a two-part program of hand-selected 16mm treasures abandoned by history and reactivated by whiz kid curator Stathes. Luddites, romantics, nostalgists, pop culture theorists, enemies of censorship, lovers, archivists, nerds, kids-at-heart, actual kids and armchair film historians are all welcome!

The evening also promises an OPEN BAR with custom cocktails, free popcorn, a bake sale to benefit Cinebeasts, and some classic 78rpms jazz records following the cartoons.
