📍 Kite Club, New York City
To mark its 10th anniversary, the Al Larvick Conservation Fund presents In Another Light: Cinema of Memory, a screening series celebrating the artistry and cultural significance of home movies. These rarely seen amateur films have been given new life through digitization grants from the Fund, and further transformed through curation, editing, and original scores—revealing how personal archives illuminate shared histories.
Featured Program
Artistic Impulses: Homemade Narratives & Life is a Cabaret
Curated by Kirsten Larvick & Kelly Burton
Edited by Kimberly Brown
Original Scores performed live by Gene Pritsker (composer/guitar/DJ) with Franz Hackl on trumpet
Home movies often depict everyday life, but some makers pushed beyond family chronicles to experiment with form, storytelling, and performance. This program highlights grassroots creators who transformed consumer film and video into works that both document and entertain. Homemade Narratives explores inventive approaches to politics and personal expression, while Life is a Cabaret captures the vibrant world of performance, showing how the act of filming shapes perspective and meaning.
