Ways of Watching: Tenth Annual Summer Symposium, July 24-25, 2009 Northeast Historic Film, Bucksport, Maine USA For two days this summer on the coast of Maine in the 1916 Alamo Theatre, scholars, filmmakers, archivists, students, and members of the public will gather to learn and discuss how and where art, educational, and amateur films have been shown. More than 90 presenters have shared their knowledge since the symposium was established in 2000. Our traditions include lively conversation, evening screenings, and a lobster dinner. The Northeast Historic Film annual symposium welcomes the following authors, archivists, teachers, and researchers who will bring forward the immensely varied practices of exhibition and viewing of non-commercial film.
