HFA curatorship is named for Cavell
For many years, Stanley Cavell, Ph.D. '61, has been at the forefront of combining philosophical inquiry with the study of film. Thanks to the generosity of retired Harvard faculty member and filmmaker Robert G. Gardner '48, A.M. '58, Cavell's contributions to the area of film studies have been permanently honored with the creation of the Stanley Cavell Curatorship of the Harvard Film Archive (HFA).
