A key intervention here is the "filmgeographies" collective, initiated by Jessica Jacobs and Joseph Palis, that grew out of a regular screening festival for short films held in collaboration with the American Association of Geographers. Other important resources include the "Geographers on film" initiative, underway for over forty years, with the archives co-curated by the AAG and the Library of Congress.
