"Brand New & Recent Preservations of The Kuchar Brothers!" Film Program

Anthology Film Archives

This event has ended.

George and Mike Kuchar are the twin darlings of the experimental film world, makers of hundreds of films and videos, and legends in their own time. But back in the 50s and 60s they were just a couple of brothers from the Bronx who shared an 8mm camera. As delirious as they are dramatic, as colorful as they are campy, these rarely seen short films are laugh-out-loud funny and overwhelming proof that the Kuchars are the eighth and ninth wonders of the world.
In 2004, with support from the Film Foundation and the National Film Preservation Foundation, Anthology preserved ten of their 8mm films by blowing them up to 16mm. Today, we are proud to say we've finished the job with a second round of preservations that include the remaining seven titles from their early oeuvre. To celebrate the completion of this project we will be showcasing the new preservations, reviving the older ones, and, as a special bonus, hosting the premiere of Harvard Film Archives' restorations of films produced by George and his students at the San Francisco Art Institute - a veritable Kuchar-athon!
