[Frameworks] Rally for The Donnell Media Center Wednesday, April 17th, 12:00 PM

[Alex Lake]

Just wondering... what's the point of this?

The 16mm films in the NYPL are still available to everyone at the Library
of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center... You just need to call a week ahead
of time and make an appointment... The Reserve Film and Video Collection at
the NYPL is still going strong doing preservations and acquiring new work
(I believe that they got new prints of a lot of Jack Smith films, they're
now holding a few Markopoulos films too)... As far as I know nothing has
been deaccessioned or is at risk...

I understand that it's awful that the city sold the building to developers
who've done nothing with the space but everything that was once in those
walls is still accessible to the public... I never visited the space when
it was there, so maybe I'm not the most informed but is a rally five years
later necessary?
