Re: [Frameworks] Remembering Cecile again

[Elizabeth McMahon]

Thank you, Pip.

I loved her very much. Cecile was an indefatigable champion of experimental
and avant garde film, up to her last breath.  One of a kind, a true,
unadulterated iconoclast. I was fortunate enough to do seven years of
Master Class Meet the Makers programs with her at NYPL's Donnell Media
Center. Those programs are among my most memorable  and treasured of my
many  years there.

Best,
Elizabeth McMahon

Cecile Starr was special. She asked me to write a biography of Mary Ellen Bute 
with her, but died before she could work on it.  I wrote the book and am 
looking for a publisher. Kit Basquin

A round of memorial emails went out two years ago, but I have been 
thinking about her today and wanted to remember a tireless advocate 
for our favorite films and filmmakers at a time when nobody cared 
about them.

Cecile Starr died on December 9th, 2014.

Pretty much the "textbook definition of bigorty," to paraphrase a 
certain prominent Republican on another Republican, characterizing a 
whole group of people and making blanket assumptions about them. But I 
long ago learned to pay little attention to Bernie's posts

Now who's the elderly, rural pedagogue.
Nothing more elder and rural than the (recurrent) blind trust in the future...
