The 6th Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, 1960 (SILENT)

Photographed by Henry Charles Fleischer, SILENT
From Prelinger Archives, San Francisco
Screened at the The 57th Robert Flaherty Film Seminar: SONIC TRUTH 2011
Programmed by Dan Streible

"A gift from Rick Prelinger, this beautiful, silent Kodachrome "home movie" shot (by an old pro) at the 1960 Flaherty Seminar is a vivid depiction of what the original, telephoneless seminars were like. Led by Frances Flaherty (glimpsed early in the film) at the family home in Vermont, the annual gathering had clearly outgrown its living-room sized beginning. Who are the people in this film? Was it shown at the seminar? or elsewhere? why don't we go swimming anymore?

"Henry Fleischer of Edison, New Jersey, was a journeyman industrial filmmaker. He bequeathed his film collection to Prelinger upon his death in 2010."
-Dan Streible
