Who we are
Endorsed and funded by Williams College, Purple Valley Films (PVF) is a student-run organization that promotes student independent filmmaking. It was founded with the goal that students should be exposed to an eclectic range of motion pictures from various backgrounds, and that eventually they are able to express their ideas through filmmaking.
In a nutshell, PVF organizes three types of activities:
Watch movies
Screenings are held every Friday evening. Titles range from the classic (e.g. My Fair Lady), the cult (e.g. The Rocky Horror Picture Show), to Chinese (e.g. Chungking Express)---movies you don't find in local cinemas. In addition, screenings are scheduled based on themes. For instance, January 2007 was our French Month, with screenings of musicals, dramas and comedies made in France.
Workshops
We conduct workshops to reveal the magic behind the scenes. Earlier in January, Amelie was screened. It was a movie notable for its cinematography, particularly its smooth fluid camera movement. Thus we shared with our members how to stabilize the camera, by constructing on the spot an amateur SteadiCam out of a normal tripod.
Make movies
Webcast Also known as the Purple Cow Cast, we also provide free live webcast on athletic events at Williams College. It is a collaboration between Purple Valley Films and and Sports Information. Run by students, this service covers major home games, so family, friends and alumni can watch the game online in real time. See http://www.purplevalleyfilms.com/webcast for more information or to join the production crew.

Project New Orleans From March 23-29, we organized an eight-student team to New Orleans to make a documentary - in the hope of inspiring more college student to volunteer there. The documentary is entitled Beyond the French Quarter. See http://www.purplevalleyfilms.com/nola
