The 8th Orphan Film Symposium (aka "Orphans 8") is over. 

From what I hear, the 300 or so people who came to Astoria's Museum of the Moving Image during April 11-14 had a good time, saw a lot of films they'd never seen, and went away stimulated by the talks, screenings, and conversation. 

The postmortem will continue, but for now it's time to thank again the many organizations and people who make the biennial symposium and the year-round project possible. 

NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and the school's Department of Cinema Studies and the department's master's program in Moving Image Archiving and Preservation remain the ongoing underwriters of the enterprise. And of course this time around Museum of the Moving Image invited us all into the grand building and theater, free of charge. 

Among the supporters below, each plays a different role. Some contribute cash, others donate professional services in kind, and some do both. (Thank you!)
