In person via Zoom: Greg Gans, Paul Glabicki, Victor Grauer, Steven Haines, Bill Judson, Gary Kaboly, John Kirch, Brady Lewis, Greg Pierce, and Sharon Ruppert Green.

Greg Pierce, Director of Film and Video at The Andy Warhol Museum, will moderate a lively exchange with original members of the Pittsburgh Film-Makers, an independent film cooperative, and discuss Robert Haller’s pivotal role in the development of the 1970s film community. Haller served as executive director of Pittsburgh Film-Makers 1972-1979 and was the founder-editor of the magazine Field of Vision. Haller preserved many of the Pittsburgher’s films and penned the 2005 memoir, Crossroads: Avant-Garde Film in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. Rare films made by Pittsburghers will be screened including one shot by the legendary Maya Deren, who visited the city several times in the 1940s, a unique 1973 portrait of Kenneth Anger, and scenes captured by 15-year old zombie actor John Kirch during the shooting of Night of the Living Dead (1968).
