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.

More InfoPeople often complain that there’s nothing to do, that’s cool, late on a week night in SLC. Well, here it is:

Our free Halloween film event at Brewvies!!! Co-sponsored by The Salty Horror International Film Festival.



I’ve chosen to show “Encounter of the Spooky Kind”, as it is one of the ultimate landmark horror movies in Chinese film history.

Director Sammo Hung, creates the perfect blend of Horror, Fantasy, Black Magic, Martial Arts and comedy combined into one of the most influential films of all time, paving the way for movies like “Mr. Vampire” and the entire wave of 1980’s Chinese horror comedy!

One of our favorite films, with one of the greatest unexpected endings of all time!

Never slow, Encounter still packs a punch till this day, and even spurned a sequel :)

21 and up only.

See you there :)

PS. This film has been rated everything from Not Rated, PG-13 to R. Personally I give it a PG-13. The only “R” level thing that happens is that a zombie takes a bite out of Hung’s leg which is pretty graphic and can be seen in the trailer. You decide.
