America is turning 250! Join the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Semiquincentennial Celebration of Celluloid! For nearly 30 years the NFPF has been helping to preserve America’s film heritage. To herald the 250th anniversary of the USA, we present a group of preserved cinematic gems demonstrating the American spirit and the drive of democracy. This collection of shorts from archives around the country reveals the many ways—from amateur to avant-garde—that American filmmakers have used movies to inform, honor, document, and critique.

Saturday, July 18th at Vidiots in Los Angeles.
