[Frameworks] Millennium Members Meeting rescheduled to Thursday 8/28

[Vance Klass]

The special Members Meeting of Millennium Film Workshop that was scheduled for tonight (Weds 8/20) has been RESCHEDULED to THURSDAY AUGUST 28, 2014, 7:00pm at Brooklyn Fire Proof, 119 Ingraham Street, Brooklyn, NY, at 7:00 pm.   The business of the meeting will be to vote on a recommendation by the Board of Directors that the Millennium Archive be sold to the Museum of Modern Art.  Approval of this sale is critical to Millennium's future.

The meeting has been rescheduled to allow time for voting members who cannot be physically present at the meeting to submit a "proxy ballot" by email.  This is provided in NY state law and should assure a quorum of our voting members (one half plus one) to vote on this important question.  At present 46 "voting members" have renewed their membership so that they are eligible to vote. Information on the email proxy vote will be sent in a few days to all recent and currently eligible voting members.  For information on how to become a voting member, please go to www.millenniumfilm.org

The proceeds from the sale of the Millennium Archive to MoMA will be used for financial reorganization of Millennium and investment to improve our services to non-commercial filmmakers (equipment/facility access, workshops, screenings, film journal). The Millennium Archive documents nearly 50 years of artists' cinema activity centered in New York City.  It includes photography, audio recordings and transcripts of filmmaker Q&A's; correspondence, screening and exhibit programs; and other items gathered from artists' cinema workshops and events that are both numerous in quantity and unique.  MoMA intends to catalogue and digitize the Archive for public access through the internet.  It plans as well an exhibition and screenings derived from the Archive.
