IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, on Friday, February 13th at 7pm, The Film-Makers' Cooperative will celebrate its 65th anniversary at Judson Memorial Church (55 Washington Square S., New York, NY)!

TICKETS ARE GOING FAST & CAPACITY IS LIMITED: tinyurl.com/coopgala65.

We will honor Nan Goldin, Joan Jonas, Lynne Sachs, MM Serra, John Waters, and The Jack Smith Archive at Gladstone, and pay tribute to Ken and Flo Jacobs.

This gala benefit will be emceed by Ruby McCollister and feature performances by Kinlaw, Isaiah Barr, and Brittany Bailey (performing Yvonne Rainer's TRIO A), as well as original DJ sets by Stretch Armstrong and UMFANG.

This gala is an opportunity to celebrate over six decades of New York avant-garde film history, while also acting as a meaningful moment for us to fundraise for the organization and keep our mission of championing bold, experimental cinema alive.

We are also pleased to announce that Kelsey Bennett, Donna Deitch, Constance DeJong, Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Tony Oursler, Rachel Rossin, Molly Soda, and Cécile Winckler have joined our host committee for this event. The Film-Makers' Cooperative is grateful to have several iconic New Yorkers supporting our gala benefit and we thank our host committee for their involvement.

Join us for a vibrant evening of film, food, drink, and community! Awards will be followed by live performances and an art auction.
