Greetings to all. Many of you have experienced the strong venue for independent film & documentary, including experimental work, that curator Sally Berger has created at MoMA, and the programming, films, and artists/filmmakers, that she has championed for more than 30 years. The response, in NYC and beyond, to this news of her being fired, has been shock and dismay, and expressions of support and recognition.
The recent annual Documentary Fortnight (a series she directs, and co-founded in 2001) concluded with much buzz and energy to a full house, with a confounding, wry, and layered multimedia work by Ojibway artists, "*INAATE/SE/ [it shines a certain way. to a certain place./it flies. falls./*." https://moma.org/explore/inside_out/2016/02/17/doc-fortnight-2016-actions-of-the-past-shockwaves-in-the-present/ Here is a link to (an easy to use) petition in support. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/357/409/943/letter-of-support-for-film-curator-sally-berger/?taf_id=26516401&cid=fb_na Please consider adding your comments and your experience of Sally Berger and her work at MoMA, and if moved, share it widely. more info: http://artforum.com/news/id=60728 Sincerely, Stephanie Vevers
