The Balagan Film Series, also known as Video Balagan[1] is a nonprofit organization has that organized screenings of underground and experimental films in Boston, Massachusetts since 2000.
They are one of the longest running microcinemas dedicated to experimental, niche programming in the New England, North Eastern US region.
[2] The Balagan Film Series was founded by two filmmakers, Jeff Daniel Silva and Alla Kovgan in 2000.
[3] The idea came out of the filmmakers' difficulties in finding screening venues for their own experimental works.
New England's "strong and extremely diverse community of experimental filmmakers" needed a screening venue.
