Join us for any or all of this symposium! See the full schedule at https://umlib.us/savoca .

One of the leading voices of specialty cinema, Nancy Savoca hit a home run with her first film, True Love, in 1989 when it won at the Sundance Fim Festival. Since then her character-driven films have earned critical acclaim and respect for bringing working women and ethnic diversity to the forefront of cinematic representation. Join the University of Michigan Library as we celebrate the opening of Savoca's archive as part of the Screen Arts Mavericks & Makers collection.

All symposium sessions are free and open to the public, but attendees must purchase tickets to view Cinetopia films.
