The design team for Orphans 2022 comprises Valeria Kriletich (@valeriakriletich Buenos Aires), Long Xi Vlessing (@longxiv Vancouver/Tiohtià:ke), Matt Soar (@mattsoar Tiohtià:ke), and Dan Streible (@orphan_films New York), with video and motion graphics work by Long Xi Vlessing. The main typeface for Orphans 2022 is Misto, a quirky display font created in 2019 by Ukrainian graphic designer Katerina Korolevtseva. Misto (“city” in Ukrainian) is a reverse-contrast typeface “inspired by Slavutych — the youngest city of Ukraine, which was born after the Chornobyl explosion.” See also: counter-contrast, counter-act, counter-mand, counter-poise, counter-current, counter-claim, counter-evidence, counter-archive.

Orphans 2022 is made possible by the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Department of Cinema Studies, and Archive/Counter-Archive.
