They peddle, promote and plan:
the best Friends a film could have
By Chris Burbach
Dally Nebraak&n Senior Editor
Save an aisle seat for these
folks: Gene, Roger and the Friends
of the Sheldon Film Theatre. As
Bob Marley would say, "Gene and
Roger citicize it, the Friends real
ize it."
Founded four years ago, the
Friends membership has grown
to 330 and is rising, according to
the group's secretary, Peter
Reinkordt.
Reinkordt attributes much of
that growth to the attention the
group attracted during a film
and lecture marathon last March
featuring Rainer Werner Fass
binder's 15-hour "Berlin Alex
anderplatz."They showed the film
in two hour blocks with a couple
of lectures and German dinners
in between.
"It (the film) called attention
to the fact that there was a group
interested in film and wanting to
do something about it," F.einkordt
said.
The Friends also have gotten a
boost from the film talk series
introduced this semester. That
series offered lectures and dis
cussion with foupfilms: "Carmen,"
"El Norte," "And The Ship Sails
On" and "The White Rose."
