Here's the Pittsburghcentric info:
There are and have been many Pittsburgh experimental / underground film advocates / programmers - Elizabeth Raphael, Willard Van De Bogart, Sally Dixon, Charles Glassmire, Will Bogart, Mark Lewis, Bill Judson, Robert Haller, Bruce Posner, Bill Boichel, Jeff Armstrong, Michael Johnsen, Pat Shea, Gordon Nelson, Jim Mueller, Adam Abrams, the unknown programmer(s) at CMU in 1969 until 19??, etc... It's been fertile ground for over 30 years. (see Millenium Film Journal No. 3 Winter/Spring 1979 - Independent Film in Pittsburgh by Lucy Fischer and Bill Judson).
The New Cinema Workshop was also the location of the "Film Chamber" which was a curvilinear projection environment with a curved screen which gave the illusion of three dimensions when films were projected onto the surface. The technique was developed by Willard Van De Bogart and was exhibited at the National Film Board of Canada in 1969.
The Film Chamber was mentioned in the book Arthropods:New Design Futures by: Jim Burns - It is in the category Man/Machine Media.
