INPUT 1979 - Milan, Italy

"In 1978, the screening schedule was just that. Shows were not programmed to provoke discussion as they would be in later years. Instead, they were grouped by genre - drama in one room, documentary in another, performance still in another. European programs were screened in one wing, North American programs in another. The result was a minimum of interchange among participants.
INPUT 1979 changed that.  Programs were collected and grouped under broad themes. And, for the first time, European and North American programs were intermixed and screened in the same room. The 1979 screening included a sampling of Jean-Luc Goddard's series Two Children,  John Hanson and Rob Nilson's Northern Lights, and an Italian film with virtually no dialogue, Faliero Rosati's Death of a Cameraman."
