Close Encounters

Harvard Film Archive is pleased to inaugurate a new series of ongoing programs that brings members of the community together with its archival holdings. Each month, we invite a guest to select a favorite film from the Archive and to introduce the work to the public. We are gratified to begin our series with the selections of two particularly distinguished members of the Cambridge community: Robert Brustein, noted director, playwright, and critic, artistic director of the American Repertory Theatre, and director of the Loeb Drama Center; and Sally Fitzgerald, biographer of Flannery O’Connor and editor of Flannery O’Connor Collected Works (Library of America, 1988) and The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O’Connor (Noonday, 1988).
