Anthology Film Archives opened at the end of 1970 (manifesto dated December 1, 1970) and originated from initiatives by Jonas Mekas and a 1969 plan involving Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka and Stan Brakhage; a Film Selection Committee was formed to assemble the Essential Cinema Repertory. It first screened at Joseph Papp's Public Theater, relocated to 80 Wooster Street, and in 1979 acquired Manhattan's Second Avenue Courthouse, adapted by Raimund Abraham and Kevin Bone to house theaters, a reference library and a preservation department. An Independent Film Preservation program established in 1972 has preserved hundreds of films and the Archives holds more than 4,000 titles; Anthology has published works including Film Culture Reader.
