Bonus Rectangle Screening Series – Film Excavations from the Bunker

Bonus Rectangle is a weekly drift through Hampshire College’s 16mm film collection hosted by Media Services Manager, alum (94F), and weirdo artist Neil Young. Each week he will project a selection of celluloid films, activating this collection to new eyes/ears and collectively celebrating cinema with the intent to explore, assess, analyze and marvel at this very physical medium. Please read more about it here.
