The Jacob Burns Films Center is pleased to partner with a local collective (Basement Tapes) presenting a selection of short films.
Basement Tapes revives the thrill of pre-algorithm discovery, when the films you loved were found by wandering into a VHS shop or digging through a dusty box of tapes. They curate each program like a worthy mixed bag, trusting instinct over trends. The series features experimental and arthouse work, short comedies, home videos, diary films, and other bold local and international microbudget gems. From absurd personal docs to psychedelic animations and offbeat new voices, Basement Tapes is a celebration of the strange, the scrappy, and the unforgettable.
Enjoy the Happy Hour before the show from 5:00-6:30pm at the Take 3 Wine Bar & Café and mingle with the featured filmmakers, the Basement Tapes team, and other fans of underground DIY filmmaking.
