评论家向波士顿电影资料馆致敬
宋飞查尔斯和真正的莱博斯基都是大牌游客

杰拉尔德•培利 is very happy that the 22-year-old 实验电影院 screening and lecture series, which brings some of the most creative minds in film and TV to campus, has been honored by the Boston Society of Film Critics (BSFC) with a 2016年表彰. 但是，这位传播学院系列策展人高兴地说，这并不是他的初衷。
“有一个叫梅尔·霍华德的人是电影和电视部门的主席，他开始引进电影制作人，但很快就厌倦了，我想他把它交给了我，”皮尔里说。 “从那以后，我就一直在做这件事。”
那是1997年，当时COM的讲师、萨福克大学（Suffolk University）已退休的传播学教授皮里正在COM教授电影。 He’s a longtime cineast-about-town, whose résumé includes many years as a film critic for the late lamented 波士顿凤凰.
两周前，BSFC称赞实验电影院邀请了300多名电影制作人、制片人、作家和演员在放映会上发言。 影评人写道：“这些放映都是免费的，以热烈的讨论为特色，为崭露头角的电影制作人、业内专业人士和公众提供了一系列关于电影商业和艺术的观点。”
Peary’s many industry connections have enabled him to bring in big names—among them 宋飞 cocreator 拉里·查尔斯, who filled the Photonics Center auditorium to overflowing in September. And he’s made the occasional offbeat choice, like the program’s other biggest draw, Hollywood producer and promoter Jeff Dowd, the model for Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski in the Coen Brothers’ 大勒博斯基.
Peary is proud of the talent he spotted early: there was Lena Dunham of 女孩, who held a 实验电影院 screening for her movie 小家具 in 2010, when few people had heard of her, and director Damien Chazelle—director of 《爱乐之城》, the BSFC’s choice for this year’s best picture, a leading Oscar contender, and nominated for seven Golden Globe awards—who came in 2009 with his little-known first film, 盖伊和玛德琳在公园长椅上.
He is most proud, however, of having introduced some of Hollywood’s greatest screenwriters in the program: Budd Schulberg （在海滨）, Robert Towne (唐人街), Paul Schrader (出租车司机), and Betty Comden and Adolph Green （在雨中歌唱）.
皮尔里说：“这是我的梦想，希望学生们了解电影史，了解老电影的精彩，同时为年轻、创新的电影人感到兴奋。”
He notes that a large number of 实验电影院 speakers have been alums, among them indie filmmakers, and brothers, Josh Safdie (COM’07) and Benny Safdie (COM’08) （天晓得是什么）, TV writer Corinne Brinkerhoff (COM’04) of 处女简, and journalist Gerard O’Neill (COM’70), who appeared with writing partner Dick Lehr, a COM professor of journalism, at a screening of the movie 黑色的质量, based on their book about Whitey Bulger.
The spring 实验电影院 schedule has not been announced, but Peary says it will begin January 20 with the Best of Boston Short Films, featuring five filmmakers, and that screenwriter and former 凤凰城 critic Stephen Schiff of 美国人 will be among the guests.
