The Flaherty Is hiring an Executive Director!
The Flaherty (International Film Seminars, Inc., New York, NY) is a small non-profit organization dedicated to fostering community around the moving image. The organization’s central event is the annual Flaherty Seminar, which brings together artists, curators, academics, media professionals and lovers of film for a week of screenings and field-building collective inquiry into the form and function of independent non-fiction cinema. Founded in 1955 by Frances Flaherty and named after filmmaker Robert Flaherty, the Flaherty Seminar is the longest continuously-running film event in North America.
