Albert Steg presents
Zampano’s Playhouse
-Vintage Film Screenings in Glorious 16mm and 8mm-

About Zampano’s Playhouse:
Zampano’s Playhouse is a film series devoted to obscure, outdated, and orphaned films projected in vintage 8mm and 16mm formats. The various cartoons, educational films, home movies, TV shows, industrial films, and other odd footage come from my personal collection of vintage films. These sorts of “ephemeral films” often provide startling and provocative examples of American attitudes in the 20th century - - “What were they thinking?” is often the underlying question in my programs. For each event I draw together a group of films on a common theme, time period or location, sometimes adding music to the images for humorous or dramatic effect. I see my programs as a revival of the small movie house or traveling filmshow traditions — capturing the thrill and charm of the gently flickering film image.

This year I will hold monthly events at the Zeitgeist Gallery (3rd Wdnesdays), leaving myself time to present programs in collaboration with other artists and art festivals.
