Apparatus is a film screening series based out of The Earl Gallery in KTown, Los Angeles. We screen formally innovative work with origins and aspirations outside of the traditional film festival circuit. Our namesake is the film writing collection Apparatus: cinematographic apparatus (1980), edited by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.

We currently have two ongoing series: shorts programs at The Earl and First Mondays/First Features at LAX. You can view our past and upcoming screenings here.
