HELEN HILL MEMORIAL
\nThis program of newly-preserved short films made by New Orleans-based
\nfilmmaker Helen Hill includes animated and experimental works made
\nbetween 1990 and 2006. Because she never used a distributor and
\nbecause much of her creative work was damaged or lost in the
\npost-Katrina floods of 2005, it’s a small miracle that so much of her
\noutput is suddenly available, and in vivid new 16mm prints. When her
\ntragic death made headlines at the beginning of this year, it quickly
\nbecame clear how many people Helen Hill’s work and life had affected.
\nAmong the outpourings of affection and tribute was the collective
\neffort of many who came together to make this preservation and
\nrestoration work happen: Colorlab, Harvard Film Archive, BB Optics,
\nNew York University, the University of South Carolina, Women’s Film
\nPreservation Fund, The Maxine Greene Foundation, the Orphan Film
\nSymposium, the Nickelodeon Theatre, and the Center for Home Movies.<\/p>\n

Helen Hill’s films are hand-drawn, figurative pieces infused with
\nhumor and a loving spirit. Many blend live-action with pixilation,
\ncut-out, and cell animation. Collectively they are a batch of utopian
\nlove letters, addressed to particular people, communities, and the
\nworld.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
