“Your library’s films are some of the highest –quality work in your building, often unjustly ignored, maligned, and simply consigned to “popular material” even though there is so much thematic and artistic richness waiting to be mined in a discussion format.”
– Alan Jacobson, “How to Offer More Than a Movie”
