"...It's a feeling I've had [that feeling] many times since joining the Cinema staff—that desire to shout the screening times from rooftops, hire a skywriter—anything to get people to 127th & Lenox to witness the feats these artists and organizers continue to accomplish."
-Anneliese Cooper, The Eye, The Columbia Spectator Magazine, October 13th, 2011 (Anneliese is a current design intern at the Maysles Institute- find out more about Anneliese here and about our internship opportunities here.) |
