SPECIAL EVENT The Women’s Film Preservation Fund Presents: Jessie Maple’s Will Monday, November 1 at 6:30pm Jessie Maple and Tanya Hamilton, director of Night Catches Us, will be on a panel, moderated by Drake Stutesman, after the film. A reception will follow. A true pioneer, Jessie Maple was the first African-American woman to produce a feature-length independent film, after training at Channel 13 and Third World Cinema, and the first to enter New York’s IATSE union. She apprenticed as an editor on Shaft’s Big Score (1972) and The Super Cops (1974) and did camerawork and editing for New York television stations WABC, WCBS, and WNBC. She founded 20 West, Home of Black Cinema in Harlem in 1982 as a screening center for independent black films. Filmed on location, Will shows a vibrant 1980s Harlem and examines the struggles of drug addiction without sensationalism. The story focuses on Will, a girls’ basketball coach who is trying to kick heroin and his relationship with an addicted, 12-year-old street boy, Little Brother, who comes to live with Will and his wife. Arguably Maple’s work, in the genre of urban cinema, is a precursor to films such as Lee Daniel’s Precious (2009). Will Jessie Maple, 1981, USA; 70m Women’s Film Preservation Fund A division of New York Women in Film and Television, The Women’s Film Preservation Fund, the only project of its kind in the world, works to preserve the cultural legacy of women in cinema by restoring and conserving their films. Founded in 1995, the WFPF has contributed to the restoration of over eighty American short and feature films, in all genres and from all eras, in which women have played a significant creative role be it as director, editor, screenwriter, actor, animator and more. The Fund works also to raise public awareness through promoting crucial access to these films. For a list of WFPF’s preserved films and more information, go to: nywift.org and click on Funds.
