The Orgone Archive (ex- The Orgone Cinema and Archive)

The Orgone Cinema and Archive was a not-for-profit (i.e. break-even) motion picture exhibition group and archive dedicated to a sincere film culture in Pittsburgh, Penna. Orgone Cinema presented unique monthly shows of home movies, industrial, educational, experimental, and documentary films, light and sound performances, and visiting film and videomakers at The Silver Eye Center For Photography, 1015 East Carson beginning in October 1993 and then ceasing activity in March of 2000. Orgone was also a travelling cinema band that screened and performed films at the Red Room (Baltimore, MD), Hallwalls and Cornershop (Buffalo, NY), 8th Floor Gallery (NYC), Berks Filmmakers (Reading, PA), Total Mobile Home Micro Cinema, Other Cinema, and the San Francisco Cinematheque (San Francisco, CA) as well as numerous clubs, halls, homes, gyms, backyards, galleries, museums, coffeehouses, and garages in Pittsburgh. Since May of 2001, The Orgone Archive has continued showing its films to the fine folks who have visited Film Kitchen and Jefferson Presents... (Pittsburgh, PA), Northeast Historic Films (Bucksport, Maine), Orphans III, IV and V (Columbia, SC), the AMIA Conference 2003 (Vancouver, B.C.), the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema & Anthology Film Archives (NYC), the Aurora Picture Show (Houston, TX), the University of Chicago and Chicago Filmmakers.
