Poster contest! (Win free registration to the symposium.)
The IU Cinema, IU Libraries Film Archive, and the Orphan Film Symposium invite aesthetically-minded fans of the moving image to submit poster designs for Orphans Midwest: Materiality and the Moving Image. This three-day symposium hosts an impressive gathering of scholars, archivists, and media artists, screening dozens of cinema rarities and rediscoveries, as well as new productions, music performances, and curated presentations. “Orphan films” are all manner of neglected and ephemeral cinematic artifacts, ranging from home movies to outtakes to educational movies to newsreels.
