Cinema 16

In an era when movies have been largely reduced to the tiny screens of laptops and iPods, Cinema 16 refreshes the communal viewing experience. Cinema 16 is a free-floating series named in honor of the underground 1950s New York City avant-garde film venue. Founded by the late Amos Vogel, the original Cinema 16 was a community of cinephiles who were interested in experimental and avant-garde films. Today, artist and curator Molly Surno keeps this collective passion alive, commissioning musicians to reinterpret short experimental films for site-specific performances.
