Our Empowerment

The Women's Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) of New York Women in Film &
Television is again seeking proposals for the funding of restoration
and/or preservation of American films in which women have had
significant creative positions. Individuals and not-for-profit
organizations are eligible to apply for grants of up to $10,000.

The Women's Film Preservation Fund aims to contribute to an
understanding of the importance of women in film history, and to
increase awareness of the necessity for film preservation. The Fund is
committed to working with organizations and individuals with similar
goals, and to sharing resources and information with them. In that
spirit, we are asking you to inform your colleagues about the Fund, and
to make them aware of our grants.

The next deadline for applications is November 30, 2006. A panel of
professional filmmakers, film historians, preservationists, curators
and educators will review all applications and award the grants, which
will be announced in April 2007.

We thank you for spreading the word about our efforts to preserve and
restore worthy films, which are in danger of disappearing.
