In December 1966, the Canyon Cinema Cooperative in San Francisco, California published their first Catalogue of experimental and avant-garde films to rent. This was four years after the Film-Makers’ Cooperative had begun distributing underground films in New York City.
Canyon first listed films to rent in the November ’66 edition of their News newsletter, then published the catalog separately one month later. In the book Canyon Cinema, Scott MacDonald notes that the News listed just 31 filmmakers with films. Only six of them had multiple films listed; while the rest listed just a single film each.
The first standalone catalogue expanded on that first listing of filmmakers, but is still a modest publication at just sixteen pages, plus the covers. The catalogue includes 45 filmmakers — some are listed as pairs — and many more filmmakers have multiple films listed. For example, Larry Jordan has eight films listed, Robert Nelson six and Bruce Baillie four.

Des Moines, Iowa — In researching wrestling for the upcoming film "Foxcatcher," director Bennett Miller kept coming back to a simple question.
Why?
Miller wondered what drove wrestlers to suffer through tremendous hardship, dedicate themselves so completely and compete so intensely despite little promise of tangible rewards. Miller, an Oscar-nominated director perhaps best known for directing "Moneyball," found the answers "deeply moving and highly personal."
The experience quickly turned him into a supporter of a sport now fighting for its Olympic existence.
"The reason why people wrestle felt more pure to me," Miller told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Wednesday. "If you're in that sport, you're not doing it for money and you're not doing it to become famous. I found that an impressively high concentration of people were in it the intrinsic values of it."
Those efforts could lead to one of the most influential movies ever connected to wrestling.
