In existence since the time some of us were born, the Film Society was initially a student-run organization, although they are also headed by Alice Parsons, who is the Student Center's program manager. Nevertheless, it is for students by students. Most of what makes the Film Society function is controlled by these four. They perform such tasks as selecting the themes and films that are to be presented, write the film descriptions for fliers and brochures, sell tickets and run the theatre. They meet every week throughout the quarter to plan their events.
Every quarter is planned a quarter ahead.
For example, the films that are to be shown in the spring are now undergoing the planning process. The audience will also have the opportunity to meet the film society, as each member introduces a different film each week. Not limited to the boundaries of the UCI campus, Alice Parsons extends knowledge of the Film Society to the public. She is in charge of writing up press releases, putting up posters and supplying fliers in the student center information lobby. She also keeps in touch with the major newspapers of the Orange County area.
