...CHUNG: For me, one of the defining scenes of cinema is in Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, when a middle-aged Winters begins rabidly beating James Mason, her vacant, utterly expressionless face unambiguously channeling her fiery rage upon learning of her husband’s affair with her daughter. But I digress...
...quarter-century-old HFA is one of those institutions for which Harvard has few peers; it’s known by cinema buffs and researchers throughout the country for its extensive archive of nearly 9,000 independent, classic and foreign films—and often the last surviving or best quality print anywhere. Though most visible on campus and within Cambridge for its nightly public screenings and visits from filmmakers, the archive’s more significant role takes place behind-the-scenes in collecting and preserving its coveted collection.

After graduation, he headed to University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television to study moviemaking.

The original film, a cinema verite record of the group's tour by Albert and David Maysles, is a brisk rough sketch of A Hard Day's Night, which the boys started making later that month. Same dashing from train to limo to photo op to TV stage. Same use of wit as armor against imprisonment and ennui...
