Best Video Film and Cultural Center (BVFCC) was created to preserve Best Video’s rich archive and explore new ways to bring people, film, and music together. Having completed negotiations to purchase Best Video, BVFCC now runs this valued community space serving Greater New Haven with its world-class film archive, performance space and cafe.
The vast film archive remains in place and continues to grow. In addition, our music events, film screenings and other presentations in the performance space are expanding to reach a broader community audience.
Movie fans may still rent films on a movie-by-movie basis. But BVFCC now also offers subscription memberships—payable on a monthly or annual basis—that offer incredibly affordable options to access the world of cinema.
A new and important part of BVFCC’s activities will be an educational outreach program. BVFCC organized the BestFest Student Films Festival to not only showcase films made by are high school students but also to offer free workshops on filmmaking techniques. Another potential educational program envisions packaging films and a targeted curriculum, organized by specific categories, and made available to area schools and other educational organizations.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Best Video Film & Cultural Center may accept tax-deductible donations to support our archive and programming.
