A new exhibit drawing on materials from the Alan and Joyce Rudolph Papers is now on view in the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (Room 100). The exhibit, Nothing Makes Sense, Except Love: The Cinematic Musings of Director Alan Rudolph, explores the film career of director Alan Rudolph, told primarily in Rudolph's own words. It was curated by the Screen Arts Mavericks & Makers curator Phil Hallman and student Katherine Sherry.

Rudolph began his directing career with the film Welcome to L.A. (1976), a film that was met with both rapturous praise and intense criticism. Throughout Rudolph's career, his work has remained polarizing, but his films have an unmistakably unique identity. Recently, Alan and Joyce Rudolph joined us for a symposium and film screenings as part of the Cinetopia Film Festival. The celebration included a ribbon cutting officially opening the archive.
