The largest archive and distributor of independent and avant-garde films in the world.
Join us for The End is Nigh: Destruction In (and On) Film, an in-person screening on Friday, October 8 at 7:00pm at the Film-Makers' Cooperative. It is curated by Julia Curl.
From the seemingly dire perspective of our present moment, this hourlong program looks back at the ways in which destruction has been depicted—and predicted—in avant-garde film. These works explore not only the annihilation of the human body, but also the destruction of the medium itself; these films have been burned, scratched, degraded, even buried in a landfill, revealing the destruction which exists beneath the surface of the American way of life.
