History

In 1985 film director Matthew Harrison launched a floating film screening series in the East Village, Manhattan, adopting the name Film Crash and its associated logo in early 1988. He was joined later that year by film directors Karl Nussbaum and Scott Saunders.[2]

Expansion

Film Crash grew, playing in venues such as 124 Ridge Street Gallery, Performance Space 122, R.A.P.P. Arts Center, Angelika Film Center,[3] Shooting Gallery, São Paulo Museum of Image and Sound, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. and Heliotrope Theater in Los Angeles.[4] The 2014 festival screened at MiMoDa Studio in Los Angeles on October 19.[5]

Theater collaboration

As a collective of filmmakers, Film Crash also collaborated with the experimental theater group Ridge Theater, producing and directing films for several theater productions including Jack Benny[6] at La Mama in 1988 and The Manson Family[7] opera at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 1990.

Film production

In 2002 Film Crash presented Mark Christensen's debut feature film Box Head Revolution. In 2006 Film Crash produced Ben Rodkin’s debut feature film Big Heart City starring Seymour Cassel and Shawn Andrews.
