Negotiations have been going on for a few months but it's now offical, a number of my films are going into the MoMA archives. I have to admit it was a head scratcher for me, my stuff isn't well known or great but I didn't put up any arguments. It turns out the museum is collecting films made by filmmakers who were living in and active in the east village in the 80's so I squeaked in despite being kind of peripheral to that scene. Also, the assistant film curator, back before she was at MoMA, was on a selection panel for a film festival I entered Buoy in. She argued unsuccessfully that it should be included in the programming but remained a fan.
Yesterday I shipped a hard drive with the complete elements for Buoy as well as an exhibition copy. I'm going to get my super-8 and 16mm films scanned to the highest resolution possible before shipping the camera originals and negatives because once they have them I will no longer have access to the material.
I'm told that one or two of my early films will be included in this show in October but so far it seems they haven't nailed down the programming so nothing's certain.
Alex, I haven't submitted our collaborations yet but I would like to so let's talk.
Congratulations. You are too modest as usual. F5K is probably better than most of their collection. Great great news!
Was this an Ann M. Connection? I think my friend Jonathan Q's s8 work from 80's Is also being put in the moms collection.
Yeah...Mr Arrogance..Tone it down will ya...!
I am proud of you ol boy....

Not an Ann connection though the Club 57 (and beyond) show is the one they are talking about putting one or two of my films in. Glad to be in Jon's company.
