On Tuesday, April 25th, Simmons AMIA Vice President Adam Schutzman curated and presented a film program of 16mm and Super8mm films. The program selection was based on films held in the Simmons College Archives and supplemented with films from Adam’s own collection. Covering roughly the first thirty years of cinema’s history, the program displayed progressions in narrative structures, color processes, and editing techniques.

We hope to have another screening early next semester.
