The Film-Makers Cooperative

About The Film-Makers Cooperative
The FMC/NACG is the first artist-run organization devoted to the dissemination of moving image art. Artists and estates maintain creative control of their works as we are a non-contractual, non-exclusive, membership based, non-profit group.

The FMC/NACG is a research center for film scholars and media makers and a digitzation and preservation center for all formats of moving image art. Our collection is accessible via our screening room and digital streaming. We also foster the production of new art work via sponsorships and residencies.

The FMC/NACG's extensive archive is readily accessible to international art and cultural institutions who value the collection as a vital resource. Intrinsic to our policy of non-exclusivity is our mission to provide visibility for works of art from all cultural, gender, and ethnic backgrounds.

About the presentation
The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, the first artist-run organization devoted to the dissemination of moving image art, will hold a special showcase of  experimental film, video, and media artworks throughout the fair. The screening series, curated by executive director Tom Day, will spotlight dozens of works from the FMC collection with an emphasis on underseen material from the archive and emerging artists and filmmakers. In collaboration with Independent, the showcase will feature a selection of moving-image and media artworks by artists represented by participating galleries.
