black hole cinematheque is a community microcinema/archive project located on xučyun (Huichin), unceded Chochenyo, Muwekma, & Ohlone land, or so-called Oakland, California. We began in 2009 as a fugitive archive of photochemical films and film equipment, much of which at the time was in the process of being discarded or decommissioned by the institutional leviathans of various crumbling industries. From 2011 to 2019 we hosted free weekly film screenings, performances, and other various forms of community convergence in a warehouse in West Oakland. Out of the community that formed around these screenings an artist-run film lab was developed in 2015 which continues to this day as a seperate butt interlinked project, Black Hole Collective Film Lab. In 2019 our microcinema (and living space) was evicted by a soulless yet ultimately inept form of sentient pond scum known as real estate developers who succeeded only in displacing a lot people, wasting a lot money, and leaving behind a building that remains empty today. Since then we have been an essentially nomadic entity, screening films in a myriad of resonant spaces around the Bay Area. In a continuing form of struggle that seeks to present cultural manifestations as one of the basic human needs, which should be provided freely to communities regardless of any barriers imposed by the class-based system of servitude and racial capitalism that we labor under and seek to abolish.
