Storefront Films, an ongoing partnership between Storefront for Art and Architecture and Anthology Film Archives, embraces and highlights cinema’s significant role in representing the built environment. From early 2026 through the spring, Storefront presents an exhibition by artist Alison Nguyen at their gallery on Kenmare Street. Nguyen’s multi-channel moving image installation untangles the politics of cultural memory, fusing performance and speculative fiction with previously censored material drawn from the real, and expands on themes from her film AISLE 9 (2025). In conjunction with the exhibition at Storefront, this program at Anthology will screen the new cinema cut of AISLE 9, and bring together other short films that share questions around censorship, decoding, and reconstructing memory, from various geopolitical vantage points. A conversation between Nguyen and Storefront curator Jessica Kwok will follow.
