MFJ 84 “Circulation”
Fall 2026
Arriving on the 60th anniversary of our parent organization, the Millennium Film Workshop, MFJ 84 is the second half of our yearlong engagement with the theme of ‘Circulation’… With its unique position both inside and outside the industry and experimental film scene, the Journal has always stayed focused on the present, asking: what does the avant-garde look like now?
Excerpted from Vince Warne’s Introduction to MFJ 84 “Circulation” (Fall 2026).
