Ways of Watching: Tenth Annual Summer Symposium, July 24-25, 2009
Northeast Historic Film, Bucksport, Maine USA

For two days this summer on the coast of Maine in the 1916 Alamo
Theatre, scholars, filmmakers, archivists, students, and members of
the public will gather to learn and discuss how and where art,
educational, and amateur films have been shown. More than 90
presenters have shared their knowledge since the symposium was
established in 2000. Our traditions include lively conversation,
evening screenings, and a lobster dinner. The Northeast Historic Film
annual symposium welcomes the following authors, archivists,
teachers, and researchers who will bring forward the immensely varied
practices of exhibition and viewing of non-commercial film. Please
register by July 1. Program details, registration, and lodging
information at http://oldfilm.org/symp_2009  or contact
