The 5th Moscow International Experimental Film Festival (MIEFF) will take place on August 19-25. The main venues of the festival are Garage Screen summer cinema, Illuzion cinema as well as Moskino Zvezda, Moskino Fakel, Moskino Muzeon and Richter.

Undoing The Whole Thing, the kick-off event of The Futurism is Ours, is about breaking down and building back up again. Featuring short work by Barbara Hammer, Miatta Kawinzi, and Joey Carducci, the program reflects on the filmmakers’ experiences working within and against cinematic lineages through their exploration of selfhood, queerness, and alternative social realities. 

Since 1996 the Women’s Film Preservation Fund has preserved a number of significant experimental and animated works by American women, many of which reflect pioneering approaches and unique voices.  These include works by Storm de Hirsch, Barbara Hammer, Peggy Ahwesh, Bette Gordon, and Helen Hill among others.
