Lost Media Archive

Host of Springville's almost weekly ISMN - "Incredibly Strange Movie Night" since 2003. (Previously known as "Tapioca Night" circa 1993 in Ogden, UT). "ISMN" also takes place every last Tuesday at Brewvies Cinema and Pub in Salt Lake City.

FALL 2012 WAS OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY!!!

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).

Currently we are showcasing Avant Garde, Experimental and Art Films for each letter of the alphabet. This is in response to those who have given us the stereo type of only showing "low budget bad movie trash" not worth their time. So in response we say, "You want high art? It can be just as bizarre, sometimes even more so, and even just as low budget."

No repeat films from the past allowed! (...unless it's a screening at Brewvies.)

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.

The Hopping Dead…

               

      

Spent most of my vacation free time, once again researching my favorite childhood movie genre of hopping vampires. This time I’ve come up with a list of 146 hopping vampire related films in existence. (Most deriving from Hong Kong, Taiwan and some from Korea).

This list is still not complete, so far my list dates back to the 1950’s but I know there are a few earlier than that. I excluded all non-hopping Chinese vampire titles like “Vampire Family”, “Love Me Vampire” etc.

So far I’ve only shown 11 of these films at ISMN over the years. There will be more!!!

(Much of the rest of my vacation was spent cleaning up mouse poop and urine all over the cabin, and a little exploring of the family ranch land that I’ve never seen before.)

         


Ok, so I did other stuff on vacation as well.  Of course I was also screening Salt Lake City Film Festival Submissions, worked on my second issue comic book (I now have 7 pages of the 2nd draft finished!), and I still studied everyday for the GRE. wooo!
