The FMC/NACG distributes, archives, and promotes non-commercial artists' cinema and
maintains a film and paper archive accessible to researchers to promote the collection
through a searchable web catalogue and screenings.
We have published Sarah Markgraf’s book I Was a Flawed Modernist on filmmaker Paul
Sharits. With MIAP, we received a NFPF grant to preserve Stan Vanderbeek’s early pioneering
computer graphics.
The FMC/NACG uses the digital streaming service FANDOR for online distribution of
select works in our collection. We participate in panel discussions at media festivals
and universities in the U.S. and abroad.
The FMC/NACG also conducts an annual public screening of new works in our collection
called “New Year, New Work”. We have developed various programs with exhibition venues,
such as The Victoria and Albert Museum, Fondazione Prada, Centre Pompidou, Anthology
Film Archives, Howl!, MoMA, and MoMI. Furthermore, we offer affordable media workshops.
The FMC/NACG is partially funded through support from the New York Council of the
Arts.
