Founded in 1969 to preserve the legacy of avant-garde and experimental film and video, the Anthology Film Archives is as much an educational resource as it is a film venue. More than 900 programs are presented here annually, some of which feature commentary from pre-eminent filmmakers and scholars. The Anthology also publishes numerous books and documentary DVD’s annually, encompassing a wide range of film-related topics. Additionally, Anthology Film Archives preserves and restores an average of 25 films per year, with more than 800 rare prints having been preserved at the time of this writing.
