</tbody> </table> While art lovers throng to museum exhibitions of paintings by Jackson Pollock and Keith Haring, few know of the experimental works made by artists who brought a similar cutting edge to film. Even at the time, the films were difficult to see. Made on a shoestring, the works were rarely protected by back-up copies. Few prints were made. Over the past decades, as video has replaced 16mm projection, many avant-garde classics have dropped from view. In 2003 <a href="http://www.film-foundation.org">The Film Foundation</a> joined forces with the National Film Preservation Foundation to create the Avant-Garde Masters Grants, the first grant program targeting the preservation of masterworks of American experimental cinema. The awards have made it possible for filmmakers to partner with archives to preserve their works as they were intended to be seen. Each grant not only protects the film with a new preservation master but also provides for new copies for study and exhibition. Funding is provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. In 20 years of grantmaking, the Avant-Garde Masters have saved 234 films by 91 filmmakers. Thirty-four organizations have participated, making the newly preserved prints available for study and sharing them with hundreds of exhibition venues. “There's no other program of its kind,” writes Martin Scorsese, who began the initiative through seed money from The Film Foundation. “The work of such artists as George Kuchar, Shirley Clark, and Kenneth Anger has been preserved and—equally important—made available so audiences can actually see these extraordinary films.” Let’s salute the filmmakers celebrated through grants: Peggy Ahwesh <ul> <li style="text-align:
