Missing Movies Panel at Tribeca Film Festival 2023

In 2019 Ira Deutchman called filmmakers Nancy Savoca and Rich Guay with a request to screen their 1994 film Household Saints in a retrospective. What seemed like an easy ask instead turned into an odyssey.

Veteran Producer and Missing Movies Board Member Richard Guay reflects on lessons learned

AMIA president Rachel Stoeltje and Missing Movies board members Nancy Savoca & Rich Guay’s workshop asked: “Will your movie be missing in 20 years?” The three offered tools to help filmmakers ensure that their work will be available in five (or 50) years.

Among the many Missing Movies advisors at the University of Chicago for this great symposium of Black women filmmakers from the 1970s–today were filmmaker Shola Lynch; Cornell professor Samantha Sheppard, and distributors Amy Heller & Dennis Doros.

We are excited to be part of the Letterboxd universe of cinephiles and film mavens and are grateful that the team there has welcomed Missing Movies with amazing coverage!
