THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART PRESENTS To Save and Project: The 21st MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation JANUARY 9, 2025 – JANUARY 30, 2025 at The Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art announces To Save and Project: The 21st MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation from January 9, 2025 – January 30, 2025.

To Save and Project: The 21st MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation is the latest edition of the annual festival dedicated to celebrating newly preserved and restored films from archives, studios, distributors, foundations, and independent filmmakers from around the world.

Running from January 9 to January 30, 2025, this year’s festival showcases over 25 feature films and shorts programs in newly preserved or restored versions.

This year’s program will open and close with the restoration premieres of two major silent films preserved in MoMA’s archives: Frank Borzage’s transcendent romance 7th Heaven (1927), in a new upgrade from MoMA’s previous restoration, and Charles Chaplin’s World War I comedy Shoulder Arms, in a reconstruction of the seldom-seen original 1918 version, presented here as a work-in-progress.

Founded in 2003, MoMA’s annual To Save and Project festival has become the Museum’s showcase for presenting new restorations from their archive, as well as work from colleagues around the world—archives, foundations, studios, and others—engaged in maintaining and presenting precious audiovisual heritage.
