Peggy Parsons

Roles: Special Guest

One of the great treasures at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., is Margaret Parsons, head of the public film program. For decades, Parsons has presented intelligent, thought-provoking series and in-person appearances dedicated to a wide-range of approaches to cinema. She will discuss the encroaching digital revolution as well as her personal obsessions to support historic preservations and to collect outsider art. “Art / film intermediality – including film’s place in the art museum. So – it’s broad enough to meander: relations between art forms and what is then communicated.”
