October, 1998: Hollywood & Europe: Ever since the end of the First World War anquished voices have been raised in Europe about the need to counter Hollywood's domination of the movie marketplace.

Edited by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith and Steven Ricci, this new addition in the UCLA Film and Television Archive Studies in History, Criticism and Theory series of scholarly publications, co-published with the British Film Institute, presents the responses of an international and distinguished group of scholars and academics to these issues. Selected as a Breakthrough Books in American Film by Lingua Franca Magazine, February, 1999.

reviewed; it should be in every library in America."

The announcement was made by Robert Redford, UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale, Sundance Institute Executive Director Ken Brecher and Robert Rosen, Director of the Archive. The Sundance Collection at UCLA will be the first archive dedicated to independent film. It will collect and preserve a wide range of independent film and other cinema existing outside the mainstream. As a "living archive," the Sundance Collection at UCLA will make these films accessible to filmmakers and the general public alike through a range of activities, including exhibition, research and study programs and service to contemporary filmmakers. The endeavor will be funded initially by a generous grant from the Ahmanson Foundation.
