Who can pass up a chance to not only contribute to a worthy cause, but also own a piece of cult cinema history?
A24, the independent production house that’s been creating glorious low-budget content for almost a decade, and most recently found fame with the likes of Moonlight, Room. Midsommar, Uncut Gems, Eighth Grade, and The Lighthouse, is holding an online auction benefiting New York City’s workers and families impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Bidding on these items gives movie fans a chance to own a piece of film history.
At A24 Auctions, folks can now bid on notable props and costumes from Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Hereditary, Uncut Gems, Jonah Hill’s Mid90s, Eighth Grade, Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, and HBO’s Euphoria.
Auction proceeds will be donated to one of four charities helping New York City’s hardest-hit communities and frontline workers: FDNY Foundation; Food Bank For New York City; NYC Health + Hospitals; and Queens Community House.
