Registration & Hotels

Attendance at the Orphan Film Symposium is open to anyone, but advanced registration is required. Seating is limited to 250 and we expect a sell-out. So register early. Registration fees cover access to all screenings, panels, performances, and events; catered meals (except for Friday dinner-on-your-own); registration packet; T-shirts; swell door prizes.

Registration fees (unchanged in ten years!)
  • $250 if paid in 2009;
  • $300 if paid in 2010;
  • Students and the underemployed half-price.
  • Registration forms in PDF and RTF formats are downloadable here. You may also simply e-mail your registration information to Jeff Richardson.

    For more information about registration, contact jeff.richardson@nyu.edu
