To Save and Project: The 22nd MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation

The Museum of Modern Art announces a film series, To Save and Project: The 22nd MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation, from January 8–February 2, 2026.

To Save and Project: The 22nd MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation presents more than 75 newly preserved features and shorts from 23 countries. The series will include world and North American premieres and the presentation of original versions of films not seen since their initial theatrical releases. Spanning more than a century of cinema, the festival opens with the New York premiere of MoMA's new restoration of Russ Meyer's Vixen! (1968), presented by Erica Gavin and Peggy Ahwesh, and closes with previously unseen Andy Warhol films from the 1960s.

To Save and Project is an international festival dedicated to celebrating newly preserved film treasures from archives, studios, and independent filmmakers. Many of the premieres in the MoMA festival will be receiving their first US screening since their original release; others will be shown in meticulously restored versions that more closely approximate the original experience of the film; a few will even be publicly screened for the first time ever in New York.
