WILLIAM O'FARRELL FELLOWSHIP

Northeast Historic Film (NHF) is pleased to invite applicants for the 2016 William O’Farrell Fellowship.  The William O'Farrell Fellowship is awarded to an individual engaged in research toward a publication, production, or presentation based on moving image history and culture, particularly amateur and nontheatrical film.  It honors the continuing legacy of Canadian film archivist William O’Farrell, a long-time advocate for amateur and nontheatrical film collections.
 The fellowship is designed to support a month’s study within Northeast Historic Film’s collections.  Awardees must commit a minimum of two weeks to research in residency at NHF.

About Northeast Historic Film
Northeast Historic Film, an independent nonprofit organization, was founded in 1986 to preserve and make available moving images of interest to the people of northern New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts). We hold ten million feet of film in 8mm, Super 8mm, 9.5mm, 16mm, 28mm, and 35mm and 8,000 analog and digital video recordings that do not duplicate the film holdings.
NHF is located in a 1916 cinema building with newly constructed cold storage and a study center, where the organization hosts an annual Summer Symposium and runs a community cinema.
The William O’Farrell Fellowship was established in 2009 to honor an important individual who contributed in significant ways to the history of NHF.  Bill O’Farrell (1954-2008) worked as Chief, Moving Image and Audio Conservation of the Archives of Canada.  He was a valued Advisor to NHF, providing intellectual and practical support to the archives for many years.
