Mission

ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES IS A MAJOR CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT, NONCOMMERCIAL AND AVANT-GARDE CINEMA. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS AND OPERATES AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FACILITY FOR THE PHYSICAL PRESERVATION, EXHIBITION AND STUDY OF ESSENTIAL WORKS OF FILM AND VIDEO ART. IN ADDITION TO ITS FILM PRESERVATION AND PUBLIC SCREENING PROGRAMS, THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS IN-PERSON ARTIST APPEARANCES, LECTURES, TOURS AND SEMINARS FOR THE PUBLIC AND VISITING SCHOOL GROUPS; PUBLISHES PROGRAM CATALOGS AND BOOKS OF SCHOLARLY RESEARCH; AND MAINTAINS AN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH LIBRARY THAT SERVES STUDENTS, SCHOLARS AND WRITERS ASSOCIATED WITH UNIVERSITIES, MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES AND CINEMAS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ABROAD. THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY ACTIVITIES ARE TO EXHIBIT A BROAD PROGRAM OF HISTORIC AND CONTEMPORARY CINEMA; TO PRESERVE ITS OWN VAST COLLECTION OF RARE AND UNIQUE ARTIST-MADE FILMS; AND TO COLLECT AND PUBLISH DOCUMENTATION IN THIS FIELD.

  • FILM AND VIDEO EXHIBITIONS: THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS AND OPERATES TWO THEATER SPACES THAT ARE USED FOR FILM AND VIDEO EXHIBITION ON A DAILY BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION'S OWN FILM COLLECTION IS PRESENTED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF EACH YEAR, AND IS PROGRAMMED TO PROVIDE REGULAR ACCESS TO MANY OF THE MASTERPIECES OF FILM HISTORY, WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON INDEPENDENT AND AVANT-GARDE CINEMA. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PRESENTS NUMEROUS FILMS AND FILM SERIES CURATED FROM SOURCES OUTSIDE ITS OWN COLLECTION, INCLUDING RETROSPECTIVES, SINGLE- EVENING PROGRAMS OF EXPERIMENTAL FILMS OLD AND NEW, AND THEATRICAL PREMIERS OF FEATURE FILMS AND DOCUMENTARIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

    Expenses $617,916 · Revenue $359,913

  • FILM AND VIDEO PRESERVATION AND ARCHIVING: THE ORGANIZATION STORES APPROXIMATELY 20,000 FILMS AND 5,000 VIDEOS IN ITS CLIMATE CONTROLLED VAULTS, MANY OF WHICH MIGHT NO LONGER EXIST WITHOUT THE ORGANIZATION'S EFFORTS. THE ORGANIZATION PRESERVES DOZENS OF FILMS AND VIDEOS EACH YEAR, OF VARYING FORMAT, LENGTH AND PROJECT COMPLEXITY, MAKING NEW NEGATIVES, PROJECTION PRINTS AND DIGITAL COPIES OF FILMS THAT ARE UNIQUE AND/OR THREATENED BY DECAY, INSURING THAT THESE CRITICALLY AND CULTURALLY IMPORTANT WORKS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO AUDIENCES AND SCHOLARS FOR DECADES TO COME.

    Expenses $297,026

  • LIBRARY AND RESEARCH: THE ORGANIZATION'S LIBRARY HOUSES THE MOST EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF RESEARCH AND ARCHIVAL PAPER MATERIALS RELATED TO AVANT-GARDE AND EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA IN THE COUNTRY (AND PERHAPS THE WORLD). THESE COLLECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT, AND HAVE BEEN WIDELY ACCESSED BY STUDENTS, SCHOLARS, PROFESSORS, WRITERS AND CURATORS AS A UNIQUE RESOURCE IN THE FIELD. THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONLENDING LIBRARY, BUT OFFERS PHOTOCOPY FACILITIES AND IS BUILDING A DIGITAL IMAGE DATABASE OF ITS RARE PAPER MATERIALS THAT WILL BE UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE ONLINE. IN 2026, THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION TO EXPAND ITS FACILITIES, FEATURING A NEW ANNEX ADDITION ADJACENT TO ITS EXISTING HISTORIC BUILDING. THE NEW FACILITY WILL GREATLY EXPAND PUBLIC ACCESS, ALONG WITH THE FORTHCOMING COLLECTIONS WEBSITE.

    Expenses $41,587

  • PUBLICATIONS AND REPRODUCTIONS: INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED FOR ITS DEDICATION TO THE HISTORY OF INNOVATIVE, AVANT-GARDE AND EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA, THE ORGANIZATION PUBLISHES EDUCATIONAL CATALOGS AND BOOKS IN THE FIELD, WHICH WOULD HAVE NO OTHER PROSPECTS FOR PUBLICATION BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED SUBJECT MATTER. THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLICATIONS ARE SOLD TO COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORES, AND DIRECTLY TO TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR RESEARCH AND STUDY PURPOSES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
