Quotes & Notes

See image file at Anthology Film Archives - reproductions $40 per image

Original founders included Kenneth Ross, Philip Weisman, Lushe Sacker, Mark Graff, Renee Shafransky


The group felt Jonas Mekas and the New American Cinema Group's Essential Cinema Repertory was too limiting. The Collective for Living Cinema was created as a space to screen new and experimental film works that were not yet part of the art film canon.
