"...while the movies are quality, it has to be noted that the
ciné16 performances have been
drawing some of the coolest and most attractive crowds in town; no lie. I'm just
sayin''
- Thomas Crone
AFA St. Louis
The public performance division of
The
Academic Film Archive of North America, ciné16 is a once-per-month
cinematic experience in St. Louis, focusing on the historical
and thematic aspects of 16mm academic, documentary, ethnographic, industrial,
and art films. AFA St. Louis screenings are held on the third
Thursday of each month at the Missouri
History Museum in Forest Park, located at Lindell and DeBaliviere.
Screenings start at 7 p.m. Food and drink are available for purchase.
AFA St. Louis' General Manager is Evalyn Williams,
who oversees operations and programs. Special thanks to
projectionist Errol "Bud" Stanfield, who generously donates time and
equipment, and to Local 143 of the I.A.T.S.E. (International Alliance of
Theatrical Service Employees).
This is a St. Louis community effort, and
our past underscores our future. We'd like to thank Margie Newman,
who launched AFA St. Louis and, with
co-curator emeritus, Marc Syp, provided
stellar programming to St. Louis for three years. We also wish to thanks our previous hosts,
Ron Buechele
and Tracy Varley of Mad Art Gallery. Thanks for a wonderful three years!
Special thanks also to
Michael
Allen and Claire Nowak-Boyd, who programmed wonderful shows for us
for two years.
