Dear Lourdes, In any agreement with MOMA, make sure the contract specifies that your films will be available for rental in the distribution catalogue effective X date, and they will always keep prints/tapes available for rent. And other details. MoMA is happy to throw things in their archive never to be seen again, if they don¹t have extra copies available for rent. They have all sorts of things that no one can actually access or view (except in their collection in Pennsylvania or wherever it is).
