In 2012 and 2018 the symposium convened at MoMI in Astoria, Queens, for memorable events: Orphans 8, Made to Persuade, and Orphans 11, Love.
Scholars, archivists, artists, curators, preservationists, and other advocates for studying, saving, and screening neglected moving images will present for 3 full days and 4 evenings. An opening reception and screening will launch “Orphans 2024” on Wednesday evening, April 10. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, morning and afternoon sessions will be followed by evening screenings. Some 27 hours of programming.
The symposium’s theme and a call for proposals will be announced here soon.
Attendance and registration open to all.
