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.

BEST WEIRD FILM AFICIONADOS
Lost Media’s Incredibly Weird Film Night
Lost Media Archive’s curators of the curious, Tyrone Davies and Blair Sterrett, have brought their “Incredibly Strange Movie Night”—started in Provo in 2001—to Brewvies Cinema Pub. Now, Salt Lakers can enjoy a free monthly screenings of such hidden gems as The Swimmer, a 1968 film where a man swims through a series of swimming pools that lead surreally through his life. They’ve also shown Turkish Star Wars, a film chronicling the galactic adventures of two Turkish space heroes as they karate chop their way through armies of low-budget wookies and skeletons, all to a soundtrack that’s outright stolen from Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Battlestar Galactica. So come out and take in a film on the weird side with Davies and Sterrett, and you won’t be disappointed. You may be confused and dumbfounded, but you won’t be disappointed.LostMediaArchive.tumblr.com
