This Sunday, May 9 from 7:00 to 10:00 pm, the Echo Park Film Center will be throwing a party of sorts at their new “Analog Annex” in Atwater Village. They will be hosting visiting experimental filmmaker Roger Beebe and christening their new space with food and drink. Call (213) 484-8846 or email them (info@echoparkfilmcenter.org) for directions to the space and to RSVP.

Through the absolute benevolence of relative strangers, we have been offered a 2,500 sq. foot warehouse to use for selected Film Center activities. This gift could not have come at a better time as we were truly bursting at the seams in our tiny 900 sq. foot storefront on Alvarado Street.

We will continue to use the Echo Park location as our main screening room, classroom and media arts center.

The new space has been dubbed the EPFC Analog Annex and will include:

– The majority of our 16mm and Super 8 film archive
– A 16mm animation stand
– An optical printer
– Traditional flatbed 16mm editing
– A large venue for film-related projects, screenings and events

The space is currently open only for special screenings, events and workshops. Due to staffing issues, there is no public access at this time.
