Dear Mike Frank, The statement by the Society for Cinema Studies Task Force on Film Integrity (with authorship by John Belton et al.) is in Cinema Journal, 30, no. 4 (Summer 1991), 3-6. It was criticized by Bill Nichols and Royal Brown in CJ, 31, no. 4 (Summer 1992), 60-72, with replies by Belton. I don't think it is any definitive position by SCS although it does encourage certain practices. Personally, however, I need a version of the film that is "authentic" and that might mean I need a laserdisk or video tape more than a corrupted 16mm print. While I wish the 16mm business was functioning as it should, it isn't. I don't need to rehearse here, however, all the issues adequately discussed in the original statment and responses.
