History and Purpose
The ISU Cinema Society
was founded in the fall of 2000 to serve ISU and the community at large in studying the
aesthetics and politics of cinema. While the group is dedicated to examining all kinds
of cinema, it focuses on films and videos that would most likely otherwise
go unseen: the avant-garde, foreign, independent, and underground. The initial idea for
the society came from Astria Suparak's Pratt film series. Michael
Benton and Adam Jones served as coordinators. William Barker took over Michael's position in fall 2002.
