Sweet 16
Yes, it's time for the monthly showing of academic films. Last month, I missed the presentation, the first time in the 226 months of films that I was absent and the guilt is still consuming me. Even though I caught another free film in town that month, there's something to be said for sheer consistency and I must regain traction this month, with arguably the most civic program that Cine16 has yet brought to resurrected life.
The devil's in the details:
The Academic Film Archive of St. Louis and The Missouri Historical Society present:
CINE 16- Vintage School Films
at the MISSOURI HISTORICAL MUSEUM
This month's theme: "In the City"
'The Challenge of Urban Renewal' (1966) directed by Ted Yates
'Heritage Homes of St. Louis' (1967) directed by Pat Williamson
'Detached Americans' (1958) directed by Don Matticks
7PM (south entrance will remain open after museum hours)

The Academic Film Archive of St. Louis is a satellite program of the Academic Film Archive of North America, based in San Jose, California.

The Missouri Historical Society generously provides the screening venue.
What is "academic film"? From the early 1900s to about 1985, many of the best art, history, social science, literature and science films made were produced for academic settings on 16 millimeter film. AFA is dedicated to preserving these films and to educating the public about films of this era through free screenings and lectures.
