ABOUT THE CULT FILM COLLECTIVE
The Cult Film Collective is non-profit 501© (3) that was started in the fall of 2015 as a way to approach the difficulties of obtaining exhibition rights and rare 35mm film prints, by bonding together and using (aka losing) our own money to make it happen. We have since presented over 10 years of extremely rare screenings of films, including the programming and obtaining of prints for the All-Night Horrorthon fundraisers for our home base, the Trylon Cinema.
35mm WEEKENDS: We continue to program rare archival and/or collectors’ prints once a quarter at the Trylon Cinema. You can always buy tickets for our next series for sale at our Cult Film Collective widget on Trylon.org
THE CULT FILM COLLECTIVE ARCHIVAL SCREENINGS: The Collective’s quarterly 16mm programming is in addition to its 35mm programming and includes films that range anywhere from the 1970s New Hollywood to classic horror to grindhouse to kung fu—coming at you straight from friends, collectors and our own Archive! The Collective has always emphasized the format of film presentation. 16mm is very special in that way, as it was used for television broadcasts, cinema clubs and home viewing. We have squirreled away dozens of great features and hundreds of shorts over the years—and we keep on growing. We show 16mm at Fraternal Order of the Eagles #34, Trylon Cinema, and around town. Get invited to stuff! Become a member!
