I am especially saddened by the loss of another colleague, Adrienne Mancia. I worked alongside Adrienne at MoMA for nearly two decades, during which time we forged a life-long friendship that lasted until her very last days in NYC, where she lived until her recent passing in December 2022.  During my career at MoMA as a film archivist, Adrienne achieved renown as the premiere film exhibition curator worldwide. Her interest in cinema had no bounds, incorporating animation, experimental films, documentaries, and narratives. Her programming skills flourished during a period before the age of videotape, internet, and niche movie channels so that the recognition for the films that she curated at MoMA garnered an outsized importance in terms of the New York film culture and beyond.
