Film Restoration & Preservation

IndieCollect

At IndieCollect, we believe that indie films are the lifeblood of an open society.

The Golden Globe Foundation continues its commitment to the diversity of American independent cinema by supporting IndieCollect’s mission to rescue, restore and reactivate historically and artistically significant work, especially by women and by directors who identify as African American, Asian American, Indigenous, Latinx and LGBTQ+. During the past eight years, IndieCollect has created 85 new 4K restorations and made them available to festivals, museums, theaters, and online. Our 2024/25 restoration slate includes Tattoo City by Emiko Omori, Paris Was a Woman by Greta Schiller, Hearing Voices by Sharon Greytak,The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe starring Lily Tomlin, and the completion of Solomon Northup’s Odyssey by the legendary Gordon Parks. But equally important films are fast disappearing from view, so we are ringing the alarm bells.

Please join our campaign to #SaveIndieFilm. Together we can enable new generations to discover these rich, revealing and relevant movies.
