Madeline Matz, who passed away on 25 June, was an irreplaceable resource for all film scholars and bibliographers, first during her tenure at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and then at the Library of Congress. We remember her with the words of David Francis, when the Pordenone Silent Film Festival honoured her and John Canemaker at the 22nd Jean Mitry Prize ceremony in 2007: \u201cYou never hear Madeline pontificating at film history conferences, but if you\u2019ve listened to an especially good paper, or read a particularly well-researched article or book, there\u2019s a high probability she was involved in one way or another. She\u2019s exactly the sort of person a festival like Pordenone \u2013 which makes solid research the key to its programming, presentations and publications \u2013 must honour with an award named after Jean Mitry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Photo by Paolo Jacob<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madeline Matz, who passed away on 25 June, was an irreplaceable resource for all film scholars and bibliographers, first during her tenure at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and then at the Library of Congress.
