Women’s Film Preservation Fund Program

Jun 9, 2006

MoMA

The Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF), part of New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT), was established in 1995 in association with MoMA to preserve American films in which women have played a significant creative role. Since its founding, this important initiative has supported the preservation of over 60 films made between 1912 and 1990, including the works of such germinal cinematic figures as Mary Ellen Bute, Gunvor Nelson, Storm de Hirsch, Maya Deren, and the pioneer of all women filmmakers, Alice Guy-Blaché. The only fund of its kind in the world, WFPF is dedicated to saving the cultural legacy of women in film history and publicizing the need for film preservation.

Organized with the cooperation of NYWIFT, Lois Bianchi, Suzanne Pancrazi, and Drake Stutesman.

  • Presented as part of To Save and Project: The Fourth MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation
    • Licensing
