1906–2005. USA. A selection of "orphaned works" preserved by NYWIFT’s Women’s Film Preservation Fund. The WFPF was prescient in the archival field, committing from its inception to the presentation of non-theatrical films, small formats, documentary footage, and amateur movies. This program will show excerpts of—and provide context for—these unique works, including The Movie Queen (1939), Helen Hill’s home movies (2000–05) and Raisin’ Cotton (1930s).
