Anthology Film Archives was founded in 1969 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage as a place where Essential Cinema could be viewed and studied as legitimate works of art and has since expanded its mission, “striving to advance the cause and protect the heritage of a kind of cinema that is in particular danger of being lost, overlooked, or ignored.” As part of the downtown venue’s continuing fortieth anniversary celebration, Ohio-born, New York-based writer-director Jim Jarmusch (STRANGER THAN PARADISE, DOWN BY LAW, DEAD MAN) will be at Anthology on November 18, introducing his 2009 film, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, which stars Isaach De Bankolé as an assassin and also features Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Gael García Bernal, and Paz de la Huerta. In addition, Jarmusch will screen the “Strange to Meet You” segment of COFFEE AND CIGARETTES, starring Roberto Begnini and Steven Wright and which was filmed while Anthology was setting up its current space as its permanent home back in the mid-1980s.
