Adrienne Mancia (1927-2022)
When he retired through ill health in 1965, photographer and filmmaker Willard Van Dyke became head of the Department of Film, and she convinced him that she needed to travel to make discoveries. With her warmth and generosity in tow, she saw all kinds of films, and developed longlasting professional and personal relationships with a myriad of filmmakers across the globe.3 Eager as she was to share with the moviegoing public the films that she had seen, she was the ideal individual to lead the film exhibition program at MoMA. Adrienne developed film exhibitions at MoMA into a robust program, including daily screenings, hiring additional curatorial staff, and engaging guest curators. [...]she made detailed reportages on the Pesaro Film Festival's 1966 and 1968 editions (incorporating the backdrop of social unrest in Italy), which were published in The Village Voice,8 hosted a panel discussion on film criticism with arch-enemies Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris, authored a screenplay with filmmaker and curator Donald Richie, and penned pieces on individual films including Suna no onna / Woman in the Dunes (1964) and Charlie Bubbles (1968).
