We’re having a party! On Sunday, November 15, from 3-5 pm, come to Best Video Film & Cultural Center to join us in celebrating our new non-profit direction! We’ll have snacks (including great snacks donated by Caseus restaurant), drink, music (by Brian Slattery & Norman Plankey) and we’ll tell you about what’s changing and what’s staying the same.

The event is free and open to the public (but we will gladly accept donations to support our venture at the event).



In an effort to continue its impact in the wake of the Internet era, original owner Hank Paper has sold this vibrant and vital institution to Best Video Film & Cultural Center (BVFCC). Effective November 1, BVFCC has taken ownership of the archive—along with the performance space and café—and will run the venue as an arts not-for-profit.

While many things will stay the same—the incredible archive of DVDs, the cafe, the programming of music and film events—one thing that will change is that BVFCC will offer new rental plan options. Broadening access to Best Video’s incredible library of films, membership plans will allow unlimited rentals without late fees for as little as $10 per month.
