AMIA 2024

Since 2016, IndieCollect has digitally restored more than 80 films — half of them by women directors. Kirsten Larvick (Women’s Film Preservation Fund), Sandra Schulberg (restoration producer), and Eva Yuma (restoration colorist) focus on the 4K restoration of A Question of Color by Kathe Sandler, whose negative had to be pieced together with help from the Black Film Center & Archive. How IndieCollect works with archive and distribution collaborators is part of the story, as well as our approach to programming restored films by women in theaters and other venues. We’ll also report on launch of 20-title “American Independents” film series & restoration summit from Dec 6-12 at Laemmle’s Monica Film Center to mark 10th year of our #SaveIndieFilm campaign and educate various publics about the demise of works on celluloid.
