Review of OBSCENE by Thom Powers of the IFC Cinema in NYC:
“It's by two first-time fimmakers, Neil Ortenberg and Dan O'Connor, who come from a background in publishing; they used to be at Thunder's Mouth Press. It looks at a tremendous and, I think, underrecognized New York character, Barney Rosset, who, as the publisher of Grove Press and the Evergreen Review, fought really key First Amendment court battles over works like Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tropic of Cancer and Naked Lunch. He even had a period as a film distributor and fought a court battle over I Am Curious -- Yellow. What I'm especially struck by is that I watch a lot of film biographies about people whose story I already know. Here was a kind of revelation of an important chapter of cultural history that seemed very fresh to me.” Screening of OBSCENE: October 16, 2007; hosted by Thom Powers as part of the IFC's "Stranger than Fiction" documentary series and The Independent Film Center on Sixth Avenue and West 3rd Street.

Documentary mentioned in the review, “In the Trenches,”
by The
New Yorker Magazine, September 24th, 2007 issue:
“PBS has also presented good work [on World War II]: a documentary in its P.O.V. series, ‘Of Civil Wrongs and Rights,’ tells the story of Fred Korematsu, a Japanese-American who fought the internment order in 1942 and was arrested; his case went all the way to the Supreme Court and remained an open wound for decades, until his conviction was vacated in 1983.”

Due to space constraints, I have not listed the many short-term research projects on which I have served.

Special note: I am seeking home movies of the Berrigan Brothers for documentary in progress by Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir entitled, "America is Hard to Find"
