Daniel makes an important point from several angles and is doubtless aware of the Political Film Society, which was founded in 1986 to honor filmmakers who make important political statements. For the privilege of nominating and voting for the best political films each year, the Political Film Society charges a nominal initiation fee of US$5. Among the other benefits are receipt of regular newsbulletins about recently released films, information about the latest publications and conferences on political aspects of film, and a forum for discussion. The initiation fee is for life membership for those who maintain a working email address. The address to send a check is Political Film Society , PO Box 461267, Los Angeles, CA 90046. The website for the Political Film Society is http://PFS.cjb.net Michael Haas. ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
