However, this gives an indication of the rich diversity of films, presenters, subjects, and forms offered throughout "Orphans 12." Please note the listings are not complete (more to come) and the scheduled arrangement of sessions is not listed. Here's a preview of programming for the 6th Eye International Conference / 12th NYU Orphan Film Symposium, Water, Climate, and Migration, May 23-26, 2020, at Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam.

Read the rich program of films and speakers - and register to join us in Amsterdam.Īlso, read my new blog post about 68mm Mutosope & Biograph films, particularly the original phantom ride film, The Haverstraw Tunnel (American Mutoscope Co., 1897). Dedicated to the late film historian and archivist Paul Spehr. Also a newly scanned 68mm paper print (rarest of animals) from the Library of Congress, thanks to Cineric and LOC generosity to the NYU Orphan Film Symposium. The curated selection of films relate to the symposium's themes of Water, Climate, and Migration. The May 23-26, 2020, Orphan Film Symposium / Eye Academic Conference, features 68mm Mutoscope & Biograph restorations (in 8K), presented by Frank Roumen and Giovanna Fossati (Eye), Katie Trainor(Museum of Modern Art NYC), and Simon Lund (Cineric).
