Sandra Gibson, Orphan Film Symposium, Spring 2009, NEH

Preparation for the Orphan Film Symposium (http://www.nyu.edu/orphanfilm/orphans7/) was managing the pro bono preservation of Another Pilgrim by independent filmmaker Elaine Summers. Gibson inspected over 100 of Summers' films, created a new database and assisted the filmmaker in discussions with NY area archives on exhibition and preservation. Gibson gained experience with various logistical, budgeting, public relations and publicity tasks for the Symposium, and developed graphical designs and video segments.
