National Film Registry 2008 Nominations
WIFV-DC, working with film historians, filmmakers and WIFTI Chapters in the US is once again nominating five (5) films for inclusion in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. After 25 years, this collection of culturally, historically, and aethetically significant American-made films still underrepresents the work of women. Help us change this inequality! Support these nominations!
- The Big House (1930) written by Frances Marion;
- New Sensations in Sound (1949) animated/produced by Mary Ellen Bute;
- The Five-String Banjo (1958) filmed/co-directed by Toshi Seeger;
- Growing Up Female (1971) written/directed by Julia Reichert and Jim Klein; and
- A League of Their Own (1992) directed by Penny Marshall.
