Basement Films at the Albuquerque Museum Third Thursday Event

Basement Films is taking part in the Albuquerque Museum's January Third Thursday. This month’s event celebrates creativity, sustainability, and second chances—featuring artists and community organizations sharing hands-on ways to compost, recycle, repair, and responsibly let go. Explore art made from non-traditional and upcycled materials, catch a new bite-sized experience, enjoy a series of Tiny Talks and DIY Demonstrations.

Basement Films will be in the auditorium, showing handmade 16mm found footage film loops from 5pm-7pm. We'll also give a short talk about Basement Films long history of salvaging discarded media and equipment for preservation and to make new creative work. At 8pm we'll premiere a found footage film by Basement Films member James Lawrence: Untitled 1 (Zuzax) [Working Title] with a score written and performed by Steve Jansen and Jeph Jerman.
