Film Festival

March 25, 1969, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Here at the blog, we're no strangers to the nuances of technology and how shifts in generations usually are in proportion to scientific advances of the day.  Many of us remember our grandparents who lived through the arc of technology beginning with phonographs, then motion pictures, radio, television, etc.  So it is with us, who recall when this projector was considered state of the art for a school's audio-visual needs.  (Raise your hand if you were a member of the A-V Club!)  I still can generate a smile at the memory of seeing that projector being wheeled into my childhood classrooms and thanking the gods that today, would not be a normal, boring day!  Even a film strip (remember those?!) was enough for me.  But enough of school memories...this film festival looks to be a winner.  And as if the movies to be shown weren't great enough, that psychedelic light show might be the hit of the night.
