A microcinema safehouse, smuggling films & videos across the barriers between you and underground ci
Contraband Cinema is an Atlanta, Georgia based microcinema inspired by Craig Baldwin's Other Cinema in San Francisco -- an ongoing series of experimental film, video and performance. Contraband Cinema strives to select and exhibit engaging and marginalized work through close collaboration with regional filmmakers, curators and established film institutions. By serving as an outpost for underground
cinema it hopes to connect the Atlanta community with a larger network of like-minded filmmakers, festivals, and microcinemas. Contraband Cinema was founded by Marcus Rosentrater in 2011 and is continued through the creativity, inspiration, and support of the following individuals (listed alphabetically):
Victoria Cook
Andy Ditzler
Christina Humphrey
Deon Kay
Brian Lonano
Blake Meyers
Marcus Rosentrater
Josh Skierski
Anna Spence
Niklas Volmer
Gregory Zinman
Special thanks to Craig Baldwin, Andy Ditzler, Gideon C. Kennedy, Charles Judson, Gabe Wardell, Paula Martinez, Bradley Elfman (name), John Robinson and Mary Beth Byram for all the assistance in launching Contraband Cinema.
