Laurence Kardish, the former Senior Curator of Film at The Museum of Modern Art, organized over a thousand film and moving-image exhibitions during his 44-year career at MoMA, borrowing materials from FIAF members for many of these retrospectives and surveys. As a board member of the Fassbinder Foundation USA, a founder of SaveFilm.org, and a teacher within the graduate film program of New York's School of Visual Arts, Kardish brings an understanding of  and enthusiasm for the critical work done by FIAF members to his current activities. He is also the co-artistic director of Film Columbia, an annual international festival in upstate New York which includes recently restored films, and is working on a book about Shirley Clarke, a text which would not have been possible without the preservation of Clarke’s films and digital works.
