N.C. School of the Arts boasts one
of nation's largest film archives
Associated Press
WINSTON-SALEM < AP) -
When Ray Regis couldn't
reach an agreement with
Harvard University to house
his original film collection,
another suitor came calling
from down South.
The North Carolina School
of the Arts offered him a deal
he couldn't refuse. Five years
later. Regis' films have become
the foundation for the second-largest
film archives in the
country.
Only larger than the school's
collection of more than 50.000
short and feature films and
movie trailers is the film ar-chives
at the Library of Con-gress,
according to school of-ficials.
"To have that kind of re-source
for students is stun-ning."
said Anthony Bannon.
the director of the George
Eastman House. The New York
archives has 17.000 films and
is considered one of the finest
in the world. "I had no idea of
the sophistication of the facil-ity
itself or the extent of the
holdings."
Regis, whose private collec-tion
has gradually been sold to
the school since 1994. also
works as a filmmaking profes-sor
and film archivist at the
school.
The school's collection in-cludes
one of only five
Technicolor prints of "Star
Wars." as well as prints of clas-sics
such as "Citizen Kane."
"Casablanca" and "Modern
Times."
"Every film is important,"
Regis said. "Every single film
that is shown has something
different. Every film has a re-deeming
value, even bad ones.
... The students here at some
point are going to realize how
fortunate they are."
The school has added 23,000
feature films to its collection
just in the past year, with most
of them coming from a film
distribution company in Char-lotte
that closed. Regis talked
the owners into donating their
prints to the school.
The school, with its seven
movie screens, show s about 15
movies a week for its high
school and university-level
students.
"There is something man el-ously
magical about gathering
strangers in a dark room ... and
a story unfolds which hope-fully
pulls you into it." said
Dale Pollock, the dean of the
School of Filmmaking at the
school. "That experience is
lost to so many today."
The films' availability to the
students is what drew Regis to
the school. He said Harvard
wanted to store his films, but
Regis wanted them shown and
shared.
Former film school dean
Sam Grogg heard about Regis'
unsuccessful deal and called
him with an offer. The school
would gradually buy Regis'
collection - then 7.000 films
valued at $3 million - retain
Regis as an archivist and make
him a professor of filmmaking.
He accepted. Regis' affair
with film started when he was
a boy in Massachusetts. His
parents rented 16mm films and
a projector to keep him occu-pied.
Over time. Regis even-tually
designed his own theater
in his basement.
It was during college in Bos-ton
that Regis met a Catholic
cardinal who hired Regis to
edit surplus films from the
Navy and teach the nuns how
to run the projectors. After
their training, they called on
Regis to retrieve the films they
had shredded in their projec-tors.
He would try to trade them

librarian's librarian in the
sense that she remembers the

service ethic behind current
concerns vv ith technology and
competition from the commer-cial
sector. Her career demon-strates
her genuine concern
with the broad demographic,
democratic and ethical infor-mation
issues that cut across
all types of libraries. She is a
leader with a sense of human-ity,
one who has contributed
significantly to unifying dis-parate
interests across a broad
social and professional spec-trum."

of Library and Infor-mation
Science in the School
