Buffalo Film Seminars Goldenrod Handouts
Click on the film titles to download the PDF versions of the informational handouts Diane Christian and Bruce Jackson prepare for the weekly Buffalo Film Seminars discussions. The handouts grew over time: the first season, they were mainly single sheets listing production credits; later, as we began including quotations from filmmakers, comments from critics, and stills from the films, they grew to four or five and then to six or seven , and now they are as many as sixteen pages. The online versions contain color images and working urls.
Five files from the Fall 2004 series are missing—Odd Man Out, The Red Shoes, The Misfits, 8 1/2 and Hearts and Minds. Goldenrod Handouts are posted to this web the night before the scheduled screening. Please click here to let us know about any corrupted files or broken links.
