Celluloid film prints will now soon be coming back to a theater near you.
The Film Exhibition Fund, a new grants-giving 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the continued screening of celluloid film prints, has officially announced the first two recipients of grants.

NYC is a haven for repertory cinema, with the exhibition of classic and overlooked cinemas from all corners of the world finding its footing again as the pandemic continues. However, with rising costs, the projection of celluloid prints shouldn’t be taken for granted, and a new fund has launched a grant opportunity with the mission to preserve this tradition.
The nonprofit organization Film Exhibition Fund has announced its inaugural round of Celluloid Series Support Grants, with awards of up to 2,500 available to curators and venues serving the greater New York City community. With applications now open until April 29 to theaters, film centers, museums, and other organizations interested in the screening of celluloid, the fund aims to aid in paying growingly prohibitive costs: the shipment of film prints, projectionist fees, archival rentals, programmatic research, and other related expenses.
