Helen Hill’s footage and story was showcased in Cleveland Street Gap, a short film by Courtney Egan which was awarded a Director's Choice Prize by the 27th Black Maria Film Festival.  Egan provides a reflexive vignette of the house in New Orleans which Hill shared with her family. Egan overlays double exposures combining water-damaged footage found in the house after Hurricane Katrina with her own new color footage to create a poignant eulogy to Hill, who was murdered in January 2007.

Helen Hill was memorialized with a tribute show at the Orphans 6: A Film Symposium, held at New York University, in March. Several of her restored animated shorts, as well as her home movie footage were shown. The Helen Hill Award was presented, providing funding for filmmakers to travel to the symposium to show their work. Hill’s footage and story is also showcased in Cleveland Street Gap, a short film by Courtney Egan which was awarded a Director's Choice Prize by the Black Maria Film Festival and is included in the festival's nationwide tour.  Egan provides a reflexive vignette of the house in New Orleans which Hill shared with her family. Egan overlays double exposures combining water-damaged footage found in the house after Hurricane Katrina with her own new color footage to create a poignant eulogy to Hill, who was murdered in January 2007.  Also in tribute, the Rotterdam International Film Festival included Madame Winger Makes a Film, which instructs the audience on inexpensive ways to make films, including hand processing and direct animation.

Helen Hill was honored posthumously when her short animated films were screened in the Madcat Women’s International Film Festival and the Ottawa International Animation Festival. The program Renewable Resources, in the Scanners festival in July was dedicated to Hill as well.  Hill left her mark in the hearts of many students and audiences across North America, from Nova Scotia to New Orleans, with her warmth, generosity and magical hand-processed films.
