First in a series about the New York Film-makers’ Cooperative, released in 2020. And rightfully so, M.M. Serra being not only an experimental filmmaker, curator and educator, but also the Coop’s director, preserving the world’s oldest and largest archive of independent media. Here is a collection of her films covering a period from 1982 to 2017; the original formats were mostly 16mm.

    Her cinema is marked by a lush sensuality, a concern for light, play and artfully woven soundtrack.” – Barbara Hammer
