anonymous gallery is happy to announce Anonymous Film Club (AFC); the continuation of a project that features powerful films highlighting various artists, cultural personas, and artistic movements.


Showcased films are typically selected by, and presided over by, recognized artists, curators or filmmakers. Presentations typically include the screening of documentaries, short
films, or feature films; while others might involve additional narrative, installation, performance, sound or musical presentations. The films are typically followed by a short Q&A with the individuals that selected the film, and sometimes in addition to those who helped bring the pictures to life
