Cornell Cinema

Dear undergraduate supporters of Cornell Cinema,

On Thursday, October 29, Cornell Cinema will meet with the full Undergraduate Assembly about our appeal of the Student Activities Fee recommendation. We are currently receiving $11, and had requested a small increase to $11.75. The SA Appropriations Committee has put fort...h $8.60.

Please sign our petition requesting the Student Assembly to restore Cornell Cinema's funding on Thursday night. The petition can be found here:

We encourage you to forward this to other undergraduates

If you are able to attend the Student Assembly meeting, it will be held at 4:45 in the Willard Straight Memorial Room.

Thank you for your support!Read More

Since the first television broadcasts in the mid-1920s, TV shows have been accompanied by the visual music of analog noise. S-squiggles, vertical jumps, horizontal breaks, 'snow storms', 'blue-outs' and 'green-outs', ghosts and negative inversions are among a myriad of 'disturbances' that make up a visual language tha...t is as integral to the television viewing experience as the shows themselves. An FCC ruling brought this dance of analog signal and noise to an end on June 12, 2009. Inspired by a funeral for analog TV noise held at Anthology Film Archives on that date, this evening a collection of Ithaca video artists and musicians collectively celebrate and honor TV Noise. Hosted by Park Doing, it includes works by video artists John Criscitello, Nick Knouf, Claudia Pederson, Jason Livingston, and Park Doing and musical performances by American Sphynx, Why the Wires, Force Atomique, keyboardist Mike Stark and drummer Zaun Marshburn.Read More

An important message to Undergrads about the Activities Fee!

As you may be aware, the Student Assembly is in the process of setting the Student Activities Fee for 2010-2012. Last night Cornell Cinema met with the Appropriations Committee, and this morning we received their recommendation - a cut from the $11.75 we were... requesting, and the $11 we currently receive, to $8.60.

This is a devastating reduction for our organization, and if approved will have far-reaching consequences. We will appeal the decision before the entire Student Assembly on Thursday, which begins at 4:45 in the Willard Straight Memorial Room.

Please show your support for Cornell Cinema by attending this meeting, and consider making a statement on our behalf if you are comfortable doing so. If you are not able to attend, please let your Assembly representative know your position (a list of members is at http://assembly.cornell.edu/SA/Members).

We will be sending out more information leading up to meeting.

Thank you for your support!Read More
