Dear Michael, In college I was at the University of Notre Dame where I was an officer/programmer of the Student/Faculty Film Society. We mainly showed foreign titles (Fellini, Kurosawa, Truffaut, DeSica, and other contemporary directors) but also Bruce Conner; his A Movie was shown five or six times in two years with discussions about editing; when President Kennedy was killed in Texas we were scheduled to show Last Year At Marienbad once, but because all campus events were canceled, except us, we showed the Resnais film four successive times to sold out audiences. We always provided typed, well researched, program notes that we sent to living directors. Michelangelo Antonioni liked what I wrote about him and sent me a letter of approval. So did Carl Foreman and John Frankenheimer (years later I got to spend time with Frankenheimer and Antonioni). --Robert A. Haller, Anthology Film Archives

Question: If you are currently programming or curating, did you get any experience at a college or university campus film society or screening series? I know of histories in Toronto at universities like Ryerson, University of Toronto, and York University, and have read anecdotal accounts from schools like Binghamton, NY, where students from those schools programmed ambitious experimental screenings on campus and then continued to program/curate afterwards, but I¹m wondering how widespread that connection is. And whether it¹s a North American phenomenon or if it occurs elsewhere. Please share any stories or personal histories, either privately to me, or to the listserv. Thanks!
