Anthology Film Archives was conceived as a unique theater where a select group of films – chosen by a panel of poets, scholars and film-makers – was presented to the public, on a repeating basis, quickly becoming one of the first “cinema museums.”

Anthology Film Archives Happy holidays and have a great new year! See you in January! We kick off our first theatrical premiere run of the season on January 8th with Zachary Oberzan's "outsider cinema masterpiece" (Time Out) FLOODING WITH LOVE FOR THE KID, in which he plays all characters and is all credits - cinematographer, editor, et al. H...e'll be in person for the opening weekend, closing night, and other times. Read more abut this amazing film and its background at its Facebook page:

Meticulously adapted from David Morrell’s novel FIRST BLOOD, which introduced the world to a young man named Rambo and his one-man war against a small town and its sheriff, FLOODING WITH LOVE FOR THE KID is in itself a one-man cinematic war. Shot entirely for $96 in a 2...20-square-foot studio apartment in Manhattan, it was adapted, directed, filmed, acted, designed, and edited by one man. Actor and filmmaker Oberzan, performing all two dozen characters, created this monumental, transgressive experiment as a testament to the animal ingenuity and triumphant spirit of the lone artist equipped with no money, no resources, no nothing. A wild, violent, compassionate ride through the back hills and caves of Kentucky, the film and its maker embrace their harsh limitations, and in doing so, ultimately transcend them. As Rambo and Sheriff Teasle hunt each other in the woods, the audience is forced to redefine the very nature of ‘suspension of disbelief’. How and why this story is told is a statement far larger than any story itself. This film asks the questions, “What do you need to make a good film? How much money? How many actors? How much space? Can you make a great narrative film with nothing but your love for the work?” An action-filled drama, it destroys all previous notions of low-budget filmmaking with a determination lifted from Rambo’s own furious rampage.
