Orphan films find a home at STF

• by Raphaela Neihausen, March 11, 2010

Best of the Orphan Film Symposium has appeared at STF every two years. The third edition on March 9 featured a sneak preview of a newly discovered film by Henri Cartier-Bresson, shot during the Spanish Civil War, along with other rarely seen works spanning the 20th century from left-wing newsreels to experimental animation to sublime home movies.  Below are some photos from the night, courtesy of STF passholder EJ.
