Tonight were presenting a program on the craft and varied history of documentary filmmaking. In the spring we hope to present a program on the creation of music scores for film by taking a close look at the storied career of max steiner, perhaps hollywoods most influential composer. It has been noted that we are presently in a golden age of documentary filmmaking with more documentaries being filmed, screened, and seen, than ever before.

Why this is happening is perhaps something our guests here tonight will talk about. J
