Josh Badham Screens Innomme 9/15 At Anthology Film Archives
Indie filmmaker Josh Badham will be screening his experimental short film, "Innommé," at the Anthology Film Archives theatre in New York City (32 Second Avenue @ 2nd Street) on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 at 7pm. Admission is $6.
During the 6min short, a man overwhelmed with guilt awakes one night to rediscover his past through a stack of photographs that he keeps within his night drawer. The film stars Antoine Richardson as the husband and Amber Odom as the wife. The short was written by both Josh Badham and Antoine Richardson and produced and directed by Josh Badham.
Also being screened that night will be Anthony Marinelli's "Subway," Janet Swaby's "Prayer of the Innocent," along with a collection of other short films, and the feature presentation: Jason Cusato's "Apostles of Park Slope."
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.
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.
