Student & Professor Featured in NY Times

While interning at Indiana Unviersity Libraries' Moving Image Archive this past summer with the support of a generous stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Robert Anen, a second-year student in NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) MA program, discovered a unique home movie documenting the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. The footage comes from the collection of married filmmakers Edward and Naomi Feil, and has since helped the Library of Congress restore a multimedia production that was created by married designers Ray and Charles Eames and shown at the fair. 

This unique collaboration is now the subject of an article in The New York Times (A Lost Snippet of Film History, Found in a Home Movie Shot in 1964, James Barron, October 30, 2016).

Edward Feil's home movie and the Library of Congress's reconstruction of Think (1964) by Ray and Charles Eames will be shown on Saturday, November 19, at the Museum of Modern Art as part of Orphans at MoMA: The Inner Whirled of Orphan Films. That program will also include, among other works, a restored Super 8 memoir by amateur filmmaker Ephraim Horowitz, discovered by 2015 MIAP graduate Genevieve Havemeyer-King.
