Presentations

Below are some presentations I have given at conferences and courses. For the most part, I have used Apple's Keynote to create these presentations but have posted copies in PDF and Powerpoint for wider accessibility. Feel free to using these in any way you use except I ask that you do not distribute them in any way.

Preservation Case Study
Group project completed for the inaugural Introduction to Moving Image Archiving and Preservation class at NYU, outlining basic issues and recommendations for preserving two indepdendent film and video projects. The projects are Memento Mori by Jim Hubbard and Standing with Palestine produced at Paper Tiger Television by Jamie McClelland and Linda Iannaconne. Wendy Schier and Lucas Hildebrand were part of my group.
Philips and the Avant-Garde
Presentation given at 2004 NYU Cinema Studies Student Conference. Presentation illustrates that the Dutch electronics manufacturer Philips chose filmmaker Joris Ivens to make Philips Radio (1931), an industrial film about a Philips plant in Eindhoven, because the innovation of Ivens was in concert with the Philips's public face.
Capitalism for All: Father Dan, Peru, and the Alliance for Progress
Presentation given at the 2005 Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference in London. In this presentation, I discuss Father Dan, a network television documentary about a priest who goes to Peru in the mid-1950s to teach indigeneous Peruvians the value and virtues of capitalism through establishing a credit union. I examine the documentary in the context of the Alliance for Progress, a series of grants and loans designed to accelerate economic development in Latin American nations in danger of turning to communism.
