The Association of Moving Image Archivists is happy to announce that the second Archival Screening Night Roadshow is being made available to cinemas around the world! A hugely popular 2019 edition played in over thirty cities to packed audiences.
A veritable treasure from the world's archives and archivists, ASN Roadshow is 20+ astonishing films and videos in 100 minutes! Archival Screening Night has been the centerpiece of every AMIA conference since 1991. What makes Archival Roadshow Edition special is that this members-only event is being made accessible to the public to see the incredible, strange, astonishing, hilarious, and curious treasures from the world’s moving image archives. This cinematic Cabinet of Wonders features films from Mexico, Thailand, and New Zealand, an appearance by Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five, a dancing Bobcat (it's not what you expect!), Baltimore Breakdancing including the Chocolate Boogie, Jack Lemon's first screening appearance as a helpless soldier, and many more!
