In the early 1970's, there were several film groups on the Case Western Reserve campus. These groups had formed because of interest in different genres of movies. Along the way, the groups merged and formed the basis of the current CWRU Film Society.
History is quite vague on the details.
The current Film Society was founded in 1970. We make available to the University community films of artistic and cultural importance, as well as a number of the more popular films of recent years. As you can see, there was a lot of fun in the old days. One of the old traditions also included an end of year party at the Pink Pig at the University-owned Squire Valleevue Farm in Hunting Valley, Ohio. The Film Society has had a tradition of showing an adult movie at the end of the semester.
