An Accidental Chronicle of America in the 20th Century
Take a step into the old, weird America the night before Halloween.
Curated and hosted by Emmy Award-winning archival producer Rich Remsberg and Williams College film history professor Shawn Rosenheim, this haunting collection of forgotten films reveals the strange underbelly of American culture, hear and see:
Declassified military training • Vintage hygiene guides • Industrial animations • Lost children’s TV • Religious propaganda • NASA experiments • Amateur disco exhibitions
“These films weren’t meant to last. They weren’t even meant to be considered films.”
Rescued from government archives, flea markets, and forgotten basements, these ephemeral fragments form an unintentional time capsule—some hilarious, some disturbing, all unexpectedly beautiful.
