[Frameworks] Art gallery venues that host experimental film series screenings

[Adam Hyman]

Long-lasting regular screenings in a gallery space in Los Angeles:

 

Clara Grossman’s American Contemporary Gallery in Hollywood 

See David E. James, the Most Typical Avant-Garde: History and Geography of Minor Cinemas in Los Angeles, pp. 216-217

Kenneth Anger & Curtis Harrington were regular attendees, I believe

 

Also, Aarnun Gallery in Pasadena hosted Pasadena Filmforum, 1979-1980, but that was more letting Terry Cannon host the screenings in the back part of the space, rather than anything curated by the people who ran the gallery.

 

Best regards,

A question in connection with a writing project:

 

I'm interested in the presence of experimental film in art galleries - specifically, the hosting of experimental film screenings on a regular basis. An example would be the Monday night screenings at Microscope Gallery in New York. The Robert Beck Memorial Cinema was hosted by Collective:Unconscious, and later by the art gallery Participant Inc.

 

Are there other art galleries that host experimental film series screenings, either currently or historical examples? Places that show fine art by day and film by night. And ideally, examples of a longstanding commitment to hosting a screening series, rather than a one-off event now and then.

 

Much appreciate your responses!

 

Cheers,

Joel Schlemowitz
