Description

The FMC/NACG distributes, archives, and promotes non-commercial artists' cinema and maintains a film and paper archive accessible to researchers to promote the collection through a searchable web catalogue and screenings. We have published Sarah Markgraf’s book I Was a Flawed Modernist on filmmaker Paul Sharits. With MIAP, we received a NFPF grant to preserve Stan Vanderbeek’s early pioneering computer graphics. The FMC/NACG uses the digital streaming service FANDOR for online distribution of select works in our collection. We participate in panel discussions at media festivals and universities in the U.S. and abroad. The FMC/NACG also conducts an annual public screening of new works in our collection called “New Year, New Work”. We have developed various programs with exhibition venues, such as The Victoria and Albert Museum, Fondazione Prada, Centre Pompidou, Anthology Film Archives, Howl!, MoMA, and MoMI. Furthermore, we offer affordable media workshops. The FMC/NACG is partially funded through support from the New York Council of the Arts.

    Boy Frankenstein

    film/video, 1994

    A subversive re-reading of the Frankenstein monster legend in which identity is revealed as a constructed patchwork. This award winning experimental short is haunting with its snapshot glimpses of disembodiment, re-inscribing and psychological suturing of parts on the bodymap.
