Newsletters, 1973-1977

 File — Box: 4, Folder: 9

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The papers of the Indiana Film Festival cover the period from 1973 to 1983. The collection has three series: administrative records, membership records, and program materials.

The first series, administrative records, is arranged first alphabetically by category and then chronologically with the folders. These materials include by-laws of the Indiana Film Council, rosters identifying directors and officers (1973-1981), minutes of both the board of directors and Executive Committee meetings (1973-1980), and forms devised for basic record keeping, recruitment, and promotion. Folders of correspondence have been separated into two categories: letters written by IFC presidents (1974-1979) and general correspondence directed to the organization as a body (1974-1980). Presidential correspondence documents the initiation in 1976 of a Joint Commission to represent organizations with an interest in film throughout Indiana, including the IFC.

Other administrative records include materials concerning grant funding, bank statements, financial statements, and ledger sheets. There are also extensive records of disbursements and reimbursements, accompanied by required documentation.

The second series, membership records, is also first arranged alphabetically by subject or type and then by date. This series contains the IFC Newsletter (1973-1983), membership directories (1976-1977 and 1978-1979), and membership records (1974-1980). Additionally, the series contains certificates and awards granted to members and evaluations of the IFC by members.

The third series, program materials, contains documents related to each of the IFC annual Indiana Film Festivals (1976-1981), as well its other programs: including the CETA Filmmaker-in-Residence Program, Hoosier Children’s Film Theater, and other workshops. Also included are forms for the 1977 Indiana Film Industry Survey, and photographs and slides from the Third Annual Indiana Film Fest in 1978. There are also shirt decals (B018).
