Lost Media Archive

Host of Provo's ISMN "Incredibly Strange Movie Night" since 2001. (Previously known as "Tapioca Night" circa 1993 in Ogden, UT).

We are also founder of the world's first Troll 2 cast reunion (which they didn't want to mention in the documentary for some reason, making it look like it started in New York. I guess karma will catch up with them).

LMA is a Utah-based collection of mondo/ kitsch/ cult/ ephemeral/ experimental/ historical/ obsolete/ forgotten/ unearthed audio-visual and textual documents. LMA is also a resource for those who cling to bygone media formats. The LMA was founded by Blair Sterrett and works together with loaf-i productions, the Free Form Film Festival and Salt Lake City Film Festival to arrange screenings, viewings, and concerts. The LMA also promotes and initiates the creation of new and unusual films, albums, performative projects, and book events. We accept donations of any and all projection, recording, and filming devices. When possible, we maintain these machines for use by recordists and filmmakers. (We now curate over 35,000 films.)

For more info, donations or to join the weekly email list, please contact B.C. Sterrett at bcsterrett@gmail.com. Thank you.

Mutations: A slide show of cultural effects and ripoffs of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Sept. 19th 7 PM at the SLC Library

 

No ISMN this week, since I need all the time possible to work on other projects.

However, if you are so inclined you’re welcome to see my first odd public presentation entitled “Mutations” at the Salt Lake City Library this coming Monday Sept. 19th.

Check out the event page on facebook :) http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=244289155591273

Or see the announcement on the SLC library website:

This is a historical work in progress.  So I hope what I have goes over well and at least entertains.

                                       

The following synopsis is by The Free Form Film Series in San Diego:


“The origin, future and influence of the _TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES_ and their effects on all forms of entertainment media, including the comic book industry, television, toys, film, and mass-culture.

This installment … brings you an educational and absurd collection of cultural mutations.

More than just a presentation about one cartoon fad, BC Sterrett’s lecture/video presentation stands as an assessment of commercial (and oddly, often legal) forms of re-appropriation.  A presentation that, in our age of the hollywood remake, couldn’t be more relevant, and insightful, but also couldn’t be much funnier!




Video footage and lecture by media archeologist/cartoonist BC Sterrett
of The Lost Media Archive (UT).”

 

See you there!
