Sandra Schulberg founded and runs IndieCollect, a non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue, restore, and reactivate significant American independent films. IndieCollect grew out of her realization that indie filmmakers do not have the knowledge or tools to preserve their own films. She and the IndieCollect team have restored nearly 100 films since 2016, a number of which are in release, including Cane River, Nationtime, F.T.A, The Story of a Three-day Pass, In The Soup, The Atomic Cafe, The War At Home, Thank You and Goodnight, It Happens To Us, The Believer, Thousand Pieces of Gold, Seeing Red, Jazz on a Summer’s Day, Trees Lounge, The Devil Never Sleeps, Rate It X, andThe Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. IndieCollect has rescued thousands of abandoned film negatives and placed them at partner archives, and developed the IndieCollect Index and the Queer Cinema Index. A longtime movie producer, film financier, and advocate for “Off-Hollywood” filmmakers, Schulberg founded the IFP (now know as Film Independent in LA, The Gotham in NY, and FilmNorth in the Twin Cities) and co-founded First Run Features. Her own producing credits include Sundance Grand Prize-winner Waiting for the Moon, Oscar-nominated Quills, and the first two winners of the Cannes Film Festival’s Camera d’Or: Alambrista and Northern Lights. She also restored and re-released her father’s film, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today, and co-produced the recent documentary Filmmakers for the Prosecution, about the hunt for motion picture evidence used to convict high-ranking Nazis at Nuremberg For her contributions to American independent cinema, Schulberg has received Film Independent’s Spirit Award, the IFP’s Gotham Award, and the Berlinale Kamera Award. The National Society of Film Critics honored IndieCollect with a special Heritage Award in 2024. Schulberg obtained her B.A. from Swarthmore College. For 16 years, she taught Feature Film Financing & International Co-Production at Columbia University’s graduate film school. Born in Paris, she speaks French, German and Spanish.
