This third annual screening – featuring a singular combination of documentaries, educational and industrial films, and experimental filmmaking – provides a truly unique opportunity to experience the diversity of the various institutions that care for collections of cultural and historical significance in metropolitan New York.

Final Program Line-Up:

TEENAGE COSMONAUTS (USSR, 1980) Color, Sound, DVD (original format was 16mm). Running time 17 minutes, 30 seconds. Documentary film, produced for foreign distribution, on the topic of  the special schools instituted in the Soviet Union to train  youngster in the skills to prepare them to be cosmonauts or to work in related fields.  Also featured is footage of design and model-making (of space vehicles and equipment) competitions by these children.  English voiceover and titles in Cyrillic.  Produced by Ukrainian Newsreel and Documentary Film Studios for the Union of Soviet Societies For Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries. Tamiment Library, New York University

HANDLING THE MENTALLY ILL Ill (1969) Color, Silent. Running time approximately 3 minutes. Training film. The New York City Police Museum.

FOOTAGE OF NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV AND FIDEL CASTRO VISITS TO NEW YORK CITY (circa 1960) Black & White, Silent. Running time approximately 7 minutes. The New York City Police Museum.

PLACING SAFETY CONES (1960s) Black & White, Silent, 16mm. Running time approximately 10 minutes. The New York City Police Museum.

MAIN STREET (Date unknown) Color, sound, 16mm. Running time 16 minutes. “…this town, is designed for spies - spies who, after completion of their training, will one day infiltrate American society and report their findings to the Soviet government.” The New York City Police Museum.

ANITA NEEDS ME  (1963) Color, Sound, 16mm.  Running time 16 minutes. Anita Needs Me is a tour de force–a panting, overheated Bronx tale of lust, guilt, sacrifice, redemption, and...mother. The Kuchars’ response to the French New Wave comes complete with a voiceover narration by George in definitively purple prose, a typically brilliant music soundtrack, and a visual sense to rival any of their contemporaries. Most remarkably, George’s handheld camera work, with its subjective protagonist’s view and Kuchar’s own hand reaching into the frame, is a major precursor of his diary video style–twenty-five years avant la lettre. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives as part of the Avant-Garde Masters Grant program administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation and funded by The Film Foundation.
