...film festival would be incomplete without studies of filmmakers. The TFF had at least three: of Roberto Rossellini and his part-time muse Ingrid Bergman, and of two auteurs who were so "indie" they were nearly isolated: Robert Frank and Jack Smith.

In 1964, the year Lenny Bruce was convicted of obscenity after a New York stage appearance, Smith?s pansexual phantasmagoria Flaming Creatures was busted by the NYPD.

Her work, he continues, is “both exceptionally fine and represents an adventure into territory we don’t often...
...Savitsky ’07 has the habit of saying “lovely”: Thursday morning is “lovely,” as well as Jack Megan, the director of the Office for the Arts at Harvard (OFA).

Such a gentle staple phrase might be thought of as at odds with a young woman who has played such a forceful role in dramatic arts on campus. Savitsky has been involved in 16 productions, is the historian...
