Go Old School with A/V Geeks & TAMI
About this Event
This September, join the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) and Raleigh, NC's legendary A/V Geeks for a nostalgic and slightly bizarre trip down memory lane. Hosted by film archivist and A/V Geeks founder Skip Elsheimer, this one-night-only screening brings the best of vintage 16mm educational and instructional films straight to the big screen. It's 16mm on the 16th, and we're going old school.
We're bringing these mid-century celluloid treasures back to their natural habitat: the school cafetorium at the historic Baker Center.
What to Expect
Whether you remember watching these reels on a rolling cart in your own school days or you just love retro pop culture, here is what is on the lesson plan for the evening:
- A Handpicked, Joint Lineup: Skip Elsheimer and TAMI have cracked open both of their massive vaults to curate rare films.
- Texas-Made History: Get a glimpse of rare, educational films produced right here in the Lone Star State.
- Real 16mm Projection: Experience the authentic sights and sounds of film projected from 16mm.
- Complimentary Beverages and Popcron: Enjoy free drinks and snacks while you take in the show.
