A fervent and long-time supporter of experimental film and filmmakers, Cecile
also worked tirelessly to spread the word about film as a medium of instruction
and social change. She reviewed educational and sponsored films for Saturday
Review and Educational Screen for years. Much of her writing

I never met Cecile Starr, though I did have some correspondence with her. I’ve
always felt she was the one person who opened up the area of animation and
experimental film to me personally, and to many others with her writing and
distribution work. A teacher and a leader.

Very sad to relate that Cecile Starr passed away on December 9, 2014.
She was 93.
This news came to me from her grandson Ian Boyajian who has been
assisting her for several years in her film distribution business,
and who will continue to distribute the films she held rights to.
