2020: Water, Climate, and Migration
From 23-27 May 2020, the biennial NYU Orphan Film Symposium was supposed to return to Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, focussing on the urgent but perennial subjects of Water, Climate, and Migration, by examining how neglected works have recorded, represented, and imagined these phenomena throughout the history of moving images. Unfortunately, the 2020 Eye International Conference / Orphan Film Symposium had to be cancelled due to the global health crisis. The Orphan Film Symposium migrated to an online edition.
