Interesting to note that two out of five of Dominic's 'possible
solutions' include dissolving the current cooperative and starting a
501 3 (c) non profit. If I am correct in my history, it was Canyon's
original hesitation on this that caused its estrangement with its
exhibition partner, the San Francisco Cinematheque, in the late
sixties.

In a day saturated with fascinating discussions regarding curatorship
and archival projection, it is important to observe Canyon's quandary
with the decline in both film rentals and university renting budgets.

Best,

Erik
