WIFV continues its multi-year initiative to have more women-made films included in the National Film Registry housed at the Library of Congress. Although women have been involved with movies since the movie camera was invented, their work is severely underrepresented in this national collection.
The Library of Congress maintains the National Film Registry to honor “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films” that are at least 10 years old at the time of their inclusion in the Registry. The selected films are “works of enduring significance to American Culture.” More information about the National Film Registry is here.
Get started with your nominations (or viewing list) here with these films that deserve to be in the National Film Registry. You just need to include the title and year the film was made. The deadline for nominations is August 15, 2024. The nomination form is here.
