Leaders: Paula Faris.
This interesting interest group was founded by Jim Faris, a retired film editor from Hollywood, and his wife Paula. Each seminar is limited to 16 participants and meets on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. for five consecutive weeks to view and discuss films. Films are picked that illustrate good film-making techniques and will lead to good discussions.

What you need to do to take part.
You do not need need to be signed up for the OLLI Interest Group program to take part in a Film Seminar, but you do need to be a member of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCSC.

If you are interested in taking part in a film seminar series, please make sure that your name and email address are added to our Film Seminar Mailing List. That way, you will receive an announcement when we are about to begin a new seminar.

Several seminars will be held during the year. Each will be announced by an email message sent to everyone on the Film Seminar Mailing List a few weeks before the seminar is to start. If you wish to participate in a particular seminar, please email Robert Franson before the deadline that is stated in the notice. Your email should be sent to this address, films@baymoon.com. Correspondence sent to any other address may be missed.

Participation in the seminar series will be determined by lot from among the responses that have been received by the deadline stated in the announcement. People who have never been in one of Jim's seminars before will be given preference. After that, priority will be given to members who have not been in a Film Seminar during the current OLLI year.

Everyone who has responded to a seminar announcement will receive notice of whether they have been chosen to participate in the seminar series or not. If you have been chosen to participate we ask that you contribute $10 per person, per series of five films, to the Silvia Miller Scholarship Fund for returning and transfer UCSC students. Mail your check to Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCSC, STARS, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, along with a note that it is for the film seminar program. The check should be made payable to UC Santa Cruz Foundation, with "Silvia Miller Fund" written on the memo line.

However, If you want more general information regarding the film seminars, do call Paula Faris, 458-1389. Requests to be on the Film Seminar Mailing List should be sent to Robert Franson at this address: films@baymoon.com
