Friday at ATA, legendary underground filmmaker Mike Kuchar presents a selection of recent works!

The vibrant, poetic and wild works of Mike Kuchar have inspired generations of filmmakers and artists with their wickedly perverse parodies of pop-culture and abundant creativity. From early 8 mm films made with his twin brother George Kuchar featuring friends from their Bronx neighbourhood to the underground sci-fi extravaganza Sins of the Fleshapoids 1965, his films take the language of Hollywood and make it so ‘overblown it’s glorious’. In the 1990s Mike Kuchar embraced video with the same transformative passion that he brought to his early 8 mm films, and created a vast body of work ranging from delirious teleplays to recent digital fantasies, displaying a unique creative sensibility. Relishing the possibilities of the most minuscule budgets his films are radiant and lurid in equal measure, celebrating human creativity with an undiminished passion and humor for over 50 years.

Join us on Friday for a special screening from Analogica's 2025 selection!

Analogica supports artists and filmmakers working with photochemical processes, often outside established production circuits. The festival revolves around screenings and live performances, encompassing expanded cinema and sonic experimentation that explore the relationships between photochemical image, space and analogue sound. Analogica prioritizes research and experimental cinema, embracing working methods that investigate the materiality of the image, development and printing processes, the possibilities of direct intervention on the film medium, and found footage strategies.
