Film/Video Theater
The Wexner Center's Film/Video Theater is known for films that are new and different, rare and classic, or just too edgy for the multiplex. They have a year-round festival of independent filmmaking, international cinema, new documentaries, and classics. Many times, films are proceeded by visiting filmmakers discussing their works.
The media arts department presents more than 180 films and videos annually in all formats and genres; hosts visiting filmmakers year-round; operates the Art & Technology studio, an AVID-based media center for over a dozen artist residencies annually; programs The Box, the Center’s video projection space; and organizes gallery-based exhibitions involving moving image media. The department was given the “Outstanding Organization” Award from NAMAC, the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture, in 2002

Famous quotes containing the words film, video and/or theater:

—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“This ... is an age of specialization, and in such an age the repertory theater is an anachronism, a ludicrous anachronism.”
