1996 Bend The Lens

May 3, 4, and 5th, 1996

After three years of tireless service, Janet Money retires as co-ordinator of the Reeling Spinsters, as the committee is now known, and Nadine Fontaine takes the lead. This year’s Festival is notable for its efficiency: a catalogue of all previously screened films is compiled, and all likely-looking films are now previewed by the Spinsters (which raises costs considerably) before they are selected.
