Film Crash is a California based annual film festival, programming independent, experimental, low-budget and underground films. The programmers award prizes.
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.
Film Crash grew, playing in venues such as 124 Ridge Street Gallery, Performance Space 122, R.A.P.P. Arts Center, Angelika Film Center, Shooting Gallery, São Paulo Museum of Image and Sound, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. and Heliotrope Theater in Los Angeles. In 2015 a Screenplay Competition component was added to Film Crash. The 2016 festival and screenplay competition was held at MiMoDa Studio[1] in Los Angeles on October 22.[2]
As a collective of filmmakers, Film Crash also collaborated with the experimental theater group Ridge Theater[3], producing and directing films for several theater productions including Jack Benny at La Mama in 1988 and The Manson Family opera at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 1990.
