Very excited that 8 more Heather McAdams films will be preserved by @chicagofilmsociety.org. If you caught the screenings of her previously preserved works earlier this year, you know we are in for a treat when these new 16mm gems emerge on the screen.
The NFPF and @Film_Foundation are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2025 Avant-Garde Masters Grants. Eight films by Heather McAdams, Michael Mideke's PHI TEXTURE plus 7 more, and Kathleen Laughlin's SUSAN THROUGH CORN.
