Excellent. Sally Dixon, and the great Travel Sheet (got many gigs from that).

[Frameworks] Carnegie Museum of Art online research collection: Department of Film & Video

[Michael Zryd]

This body of research material may be of interest to Frameworks members: online 
recordings, images and documents from a foundational film and video art 
institition.

***

Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) is excited to announce that its Department of 
Film and Video archive is now open for exploration and research. The archive 
measures a thrilling 450 linear feet and contains artifacts from the world of 
experimental film and video art from 1970 through the early 2000s, including 
photographs, correspondence with artists, books and periodicals on film and 
video, distribution catalogs, event posters, program notes, and other ephemera. 
The archive is available for research by appointment and a large portion of 
digitized materials are viewable online through CMOA’s brand new digital 
collections website at records.cmoa.org. 

Items we are most excited to share via the website include:
•   More than 100 audio and video recordings of lectures and interviews 
with experimental moving image artists such as Hollis Frampton, Bruce Conner, 
Paul Sharits, Stephen Beck, Carolee Schneemann, Yvonne Rainer, and Michael Snow.

•   The Film and Video Makers Travel Sheet, a monthly directory published 
by CMOA between 1973 and 1987 that helped artists promote themselves and book 
gigs with screening venues all across the country.  
CMOA’s Department of Film and Video (known in its earliest years as the Film 
Section) was one of the first museum-based moving image programs in the 
country. Founded in 1970 by Sally Dixon, a pioneering and charismatic champion 
of filmmakers, the program helped experimental film and video artists launch 
their careers and share their works with new audiences. Artists like Stan 
Brakhage, Hollis Frampton, Carolee Schneemann, Yvonne Rainer, and James 
Broughton were frequent visitors to the museum, which contributed to 
Pittsburgh’s emergence in the 1970s as “one of the most vibrant and exciting 
places in America for exploring cinema.”  

For access to the archive, please visit CMOA’s new website at records.cmoa.org 
or contact the museum archives at archi...@cmoa.org.

The Department of Film and Video archive and records.cmoa.org are one of the 
many facets of CMOA’s Time-Based Media Project. Generous support for the 
project is provided by the A.W. Mellon Foundation.
