In 2010, Dartmouth College Library was awarded a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to preserve the twentytwo-minute film Quetzalcoatl (1961). The film interprets Orozco's mural The Epic of American Civilization with commentary and a commissioned music score. It was written, produced, and directed by Robert Canton, Dartmouth Class of 1958. This will be the film's first public debut since its restoration. Co-sponsored by Hood Museum of Art and Dartmouth College Library in conjunction with Preservation Week.
