Women’s Film Preservation Fund Film Program

-

NYWIFT.logoSince 1996 the Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) of New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) has preserved a number of significant experimental and animated works, many of which reflect pioneering approaches and unique voices. This year’s series will showcase a selection of these works, many of which have been preserved in collaboration with Anthology, at the Anthology Film Archives.

The makers of the films in the first program have manipulated time, space, and/or motion to give us a broader view of reality. Their varied approaches include optical printing, animation, drawing and scratching on the film negative, radical editing choices, and moving camera. In the second program, the films represent changing views on the possibilities of womanhood from different viewpoints, while the final program shows unedited footage of two distinctive filmmakers, provides insight into each maker’s thought process and what informs the filmmaker’s completed works.
