The U Film SocietyThe U Film Society has always been, and remains today, wholly independent of the University of Minnesota. The Film Society was founded in 1962 by its present-day Artistic Director, Albert Milgrom, who was a graduate student at the U when he started showing films on a white-painted concrete wall with 8mm and 16mm projectors. By the 1990s, U Film had fully equipped itself with full-monty 35mm equipment at 2 campus auditoriums. Although 1 of the 2 auditoriums was involuntarily lost to defective plaster in 1997, U Film still shows movies every night [360+ nights a year] on its screen at Bell Museum Auditorium.
