Basement Films invites you to the AV SHOW: ARCHIVE DEEP DIVE. From the deepest depths of the Basement Films Archive comes an evening of fascinating and unique film artifacts from the 20th century, presented on real live celluloid. Experimental animation, 70’s skateboard safety, Mel Brooks, decaying meat, picket fences, and more. One night only at the Southwest Film Center.

The Basement Films Archive is the largest film archive of its kind in the Southwest, consisting of thousands of donated and salvaged 16mm and 8mm motion picture films. The collection consists of educational films, industry films, short films, feature films, home movies, documentaries, church films, social justice films, artist films, and more from the 1940’s through the 1980’s.

Basement Films is an Albuquerque non-profit microcinema and film archive championing experimental, independent, and under-represented forms of media since 1991.
