Orphan Film Symposium at the Museum of the Moving Image

Save the date, as they say. Click here to register for the fourteenth biennial NYU Orphan Film Symposium.

We convene April 10-13, 2024, at Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Our theme: Work & Play. How have orphan works documented and envisioned these subjects throughout the history of moving images? Once again archivists, scholars, artists, curators, and others will convene to screen and discuss a plethora of preserved audiovisual works.

Registration is open to all. The symposium begins Wednesday evening, April 10, with a 7pm reception and 8pm screening. April 11, 12, and 13, sessions all day, with an 8pm screening each night. Some 26 hours of programming. Plus catering, T-shirts, and more.
