Footage of the Stillman College-IU Cultural Exchange circa 1964. Footage features the IU delegation traveling by plane, the meet and greet between IU and Stillman College, Stillman College Orchestra practice, and music lessons provided to the Stillman College students.
An experimental film created by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart in which a sheaf of lines, constantly gyrating, group and regroup harmoniously in accord with music composed and played on wind and string instruments by folk musician Peter Seeger.
This film opens in a classroom, showing a music teacher working through a piece with a group of string musicians. He goes on to talk about an influential teacher he had at Virginia State College named Undine Moore. Quipped the "Dean of Black Women Composers," Undine Eliza Anna Smith Moore was a notable and prolific American composer and professor of music in the twentieth century. Much of her work was inspired by black spirituals and folk music. She was a renowned teacher, and once stated that she experienced “teaching itself as an art.” Towards the end of her life, she received many notable awards for her accomplishments as a music educator.
In this film the cinematographic space becomes itself an active element of the dance rather than being an area in which the dance takes place. The dancer shares with the camera and the cutting a collaborative responsibility for the movements themselves. Recommended for use only by groups interested in the cinematographical element of the dance.
Camera-less film made by participants at an event 'Action + Agency: Storytelling + Filmmaking' held at the Grunwald Gallery of Art on Thursday March 6, 2025.
This multi-faceted event featured live interviews facilitated by Alex Chambers, host of WFIU’s Inner States podcast, about moments that embody a resistance to the status quo. Attendees had the option to participate in experimental camera-less filmmaking, creating art inspired by the action and agency in the stories told from Amy Oelsner, Stephanie Littell, and Ileana Haberman. At the end of the evening, the strips of film were spliced together and projected in the gallery.
This event was part of the YOU (probably) HAVEN’T SEEN THIS BEFORE exhibit which was held at the Grunwald Gallery of Art from January 17 - March 8, 2025.

Professor Sears Crowell's interest in marine biology began when he took classes at the Children’s School of Sciences in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. As a teenager, he worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, where he completed most of his research throughout his career. He focused his investigations on hydroids, sea anemones, and jellyfish.
Highly involved in the science community, Dr. Crowell served as trustee for the Marine Biological Laboratory and was named trustee emeritus in 1979. He also served two terms on their executive committee and was secretary of the board of trustees for two years. He was the first program officer for the American Society of Zoologists and the first managing editor of their publication, American Zoologist. Dr. Crowell also served as chairman of the zoology section of the Indiana Academy of Science from 1949 to 1950. He was a member of the Indiana University faculty for 31 years.
Helga Winold research footage studying the movement of cello players - both in real time and slowed down.
Helga Winold is a concert cellist and former Professor of Music in the Jacobs School of Music. She was also the first IU student to receive her Doctorate of Music in the Cello (1967) and was appointed to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in 1969. She performed research into "the analysis of movement in string playing and the translation of thought into movement". With IU psychology professor Esther Thelen, Winold used computers to track and analyze students' movements as they played the cello resulting in better teaching methods and articles in scientific journals. She was awarded the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2008.

Limited to a Bolex, a tripod, a light meter, and 100 feet of Kodak 16mm B&W reversal film, we captured the film digitization phase of the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative (MDPI) at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. The film was shot in chronological order of the MDPI film digitization process and all editing was done in camera.
Employs animation and live photography to present a series of examples demonstrating axioms as statements accepted as true without proof and applies these axioms to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Shows how the root of each equation can be used to check solutions and uses an equal arm balance to illustrate that what is done to one side of an equation must be done to the other. Concludes with a problem the solution of which requires the viewer to select correct axioms.
