Last year - 26 August 1999 to be exact - Louis Silverstein informed us all
on this list that when Iris Barry became curator of the film collection at
MOMA, she turned to Pound for help in choosing items to add to the library.
(Iris Barry is one of the Pound's early correspondents in the Selected
Letters). She must have had a reason for thinking he would be able to help.

Perhaps if Mr Siverstein is still on the list he could tell us where he got
his information from?

If you go to the list archive I'm sure there have been discussions of Pound
and Film before, which may or may not help you find what you want.
