Sad news. Thanks for posting this, Eric. I was lucky to have met them both in the early 2000s in Los Angeles, while they were visiting William Moritz. They had a number of their Cantrills Filmnotes with them they hoped to sell during their travels. We purchased a good amount for resale on our online store. What a legendary publication. For those that don't know it, https://www.arthurandcorinnecantrill.com/filmnotes.html
Years later Arthur sent CVM some of their recorded interviews with Elfriede Fischinger, Harry Smith, etc. His passing (and Corinne's) is a loss to film history. And a loss of two remarkable artists.
