Vinegar Syndrome is our Gong Show-style monthly grab bag of short educational and ephemeral films, plumbing the depths of EPFC’s impressive 16mm library. For enthusiasts of found footage and collage films, it’s a great way to learn what kinds of films are available at the Film Center—the weird, the cool, the good, the bad, the ugly. All films are selected purely by title around a specific theme and we won’t be previewing anything, so we’ll be just as surprised as you guys! This month’s theme is Kids Vs Grown Ups! Come join us for a night of films based around the wonderment of childhood, and the complicated journey into the world of adults.
Casual viewing environment—feel free to laugh, talk, and comment on the movies as we screen them. And we’ll watch as many films as we can cram into a 90-minute screening session.

Portals are openings, specific entrées through which something might be viewed or moved: elaborate and glamorous in of themselves -- the destination is elevated by the threshold itself. In fantasy, portals operate as a symbol for cataclysmic change, the moment after which the protagonist's worldview is not the same.
Plunge into the underground with alt-comedy shorts you can’t find anywhere else.
For the “bootleg artist” known as Swampy, the world is an endless living canvas. Variations on his signature “swampdonkey” tag — the skull of some imaginary tusked creature — can be found in almost every imaginable setting across America: dilapidated skyscrapers in Oakland, Calif.; train trestles in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico; gallery walls in Atlanta or Brooklyn.
