‼️ NEW SHOW ‼️

What is Orgone, you may ask? Well, there’s a lot of ways to answer that.

So let’s start with the simplest answer. The Orgone Cinema and Archive was founded in 1993 by Jeff Armstrong, Michael Johnsen, and Greg Pierce. Active from 1993-2000, Orgone curated unique shows that made it one of the most well-known microcinemas in the country at the time.

Now, let’s get a more complicated — and fun —answer straight from Orgone’s own materials:

 “A motion picture archive and screening outfit … specializing in inscrutable epiphanies, toilet trims, unknown what-have-yous, perfect industrial rolls, home movie printing tests, corporate comedies, Warholian strikebreaking screeds, the all-around beautiful and everything else … A deadly serious joke wrapped in stickers and posters cooked up in their shop-garage with theme snacks, raffles, door prizes and sober lectures. Pushing a pro- love, pro-film agenda, the orgone kids will do their liveliest, sincere best to get you to agree with them.” 
 
Sounds pretty good to us! And fortunately enough, Orgone stills exist. Pierce is the acting caretaker for the Orgone collection, which includes over 10,000 unique and neglected regular 8, super 8, and 16mm films. 

Occasionally those films get taken for a spin, and lucky for us and for you, Orgone will do just that on Jan. 25th at @theglitterboxtheater.
