MEMBERSHIP
Over half a century ago in 1971, Gary Essert and Gary Abraham launched the revolutionary international annual film festival FILMEX. By 1983, the founders combined visions with Sydney Pollack to take it to the next level, and thus Los Angeles's first year-round film festival, the American Cinematheque, was born.
