Historical/Biographical Note
Robert Gessner
Robert Gessner was a pioneer in film education, a film professor at NYU, and a published poet, novelist, and screenwriter.
Gessner was born October 23, 1907 in Escanaba Michigan. He received a B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1929, and an
M.A. from Columbia University in 1930. Gessner started teaching at NYU in 1930, replacing Thomas Wolfe as an English professor.
In the early 1930's he was a screenwriter in Hollywood, and his book "Massacre" was made into a film by Warner Brothers in
1934. Gessner began teaching Cinema studies in 1935 in NYU's Division of General Education, and in 1939 taught the first
Cinema course for credit in a liberal arts college, "Cinema as a Literary Art" at Washington Square College. Gessner founded
the Motion Picture Department at NYU in 1941, the first four-year film curriculum leading to a B.A. degree in motion picture
studies in the United States.
Gessner's articles on cinema were published in The New York Times, Variety, Theater Arts and other publications. His published
books include: Massacre; A Survey of Today's American Indian (1931), Broken Arrow (1933), Upsurge (1933), Some of My Best
Friends are Jews (1936) Here is my Home (1941), Treason (1944), Youth is the Time (1945) and The Moving Image, A Guide to
Cinematic Literacy (1968). He won The New Republic International poetry contest in 1934. In 1959 he became the founding
president of the Society of Cinematologists (now called the Society for Cinema and Media Studies) a professional organization
of film educators, filmmakers, historians, critics and scholars. He was the first visiting professor to lecture in Israel
(at Hebrew university) and also lectured at film centers around the world, including universities in Rome, Vienna, Poland,
Paris, Yugoslavia, and England. He received two Ford Foundation grants; one to produce a series of experimental films at
Harvard university in 1962-63, and one to lecture at film academies in Eastern Europe in 1962. In 1964 he was Chairman of
the Jury at the International Film Festival in Cork, Ireland, and appeared on the CBS television program Camera Three. In
1966 he was a fellow at Kings College, Cambridge University. He finished his book The Moving Image, A Guide to Cinematic
Literacy before he died in June, 1968
George Amberg
George Amberg recieved his Ph.D. from the University of Cologne in 1930. He was a curator in the Department of Theater Arts
at the Museum of Modern Art (New York) from 1943-1948, and also worked as a photographer. He taught in the division of General
Education at NYU from 1948-1952, establishing the first course in experimental film ("New Frontiers in the Cinema") in 1950.
He became a professor at the University of Minnesota and the Minneapolis School of the Arts, teaching a variety of Humanities
courses. His published works include: Art in Modern Ballet (1946), the Theater of Eugene Berman(1947) and Ballet in America:
the emergence of an American Art (1949), as well as many articles in publications such as Theater Arts, Interiors, and Graphis.
He returned to NYU in 1966, becoming a professor of Cinema and the director of the graduate Cinema program. In 1968 he became
President of The Society for Cinematologists. He edited the encyclopedic New York Times Film Reviews 1913-1970 (1971).

Arrangement
|
|
All Series except Series IV (Records of the Society of Cinematologists) are arranged alphabetically. Series IV is arranged
chronologically. When there was an original folder title, it is shown in quotes, otherwise a title has been assigned to
the folder based on its contents.
|
|
Original order has been maintained within each folder. The collection arrived at the NYU Archives in folders labeled with
an alphanumeric code (A1, A2,) on a label that obscured handwritten folder titles. There were no discernible series, and
the creator's original order was not evident at the folder level; however there was evidence that within each folder the original
order had been maintained. The alphanumeric code has been written on the folders.
|
|
To gain control over the collection, it was grouped into 7 series: |
|
|
|
|
I, Correspondence |
|
|
II, Subject files, projects, proposals, and course materials on film and film education |
|

III, Biographical materials |

transferred to the NYU archives from the George Amberg Memorial Film Study Center (Tisch School of the Arts) in 2006.
