Museum of the Moving Image
Joined EI in 2020
The Museum's mission is to advance the understanding, enjoyment, and appreciation of the art, history, technique, and technology of film, television, and digital media. Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the building closed since March 14, the Museum continues to fulfill its mission online through live conversations with artists, filmmakers, scholars, media educators, and other industry professionals; articles published in MoMI's online film magazine Reverse Shot and science and film resource Sloan Science & Film; access to the Museum's collection of more than 130,000 objects; and the online presentation of a range of films. Gaming and video games are an important area of study and exploration for MoMI. In Feb. 2020, the Museum began hosting LARPs; and new to us in the online space are live virtual role-playing games.
