Robert Beck, R.I.P.

In this week's Village Voice, Ed Halter covers the Collective for Living Cinema tribute at Anthology Film Archives. Which looks like an excellent program. Not to mention flattering, as I'm included. Unexpectedly, as I arrived in NYC well after the Collective had closed its doors. In any case, what struck me was his mention of the former Robert Beck Memorial Cinema in his opening paragraph. There's nothing for feeling old like becoming historical. Even if it feels premature. But I guess the Robert Beck was mostly archival from the get-go, anyway. Or at least aspired to be.
