+\[UPDATE, 6.14.05, 8.28 am: edit to correct stupid day/date mistake.\]
+
+This week, the [51st Robert Flaherty Film Seminar](http://www.flahertyseminar.org/rffs_home.htm) is being held here in town, and so I’m embroiled in what feels a bit like boot camp, a dawn to well-after-dusk schedule of screenings, discussions, and social events. The seminar keeps up this pace for seven days, which, given my usual tendency to play hooky from a conference on or about the third day, seems a bit grueling; for better or for worse, though, I’m only at the seminar through Wednesday, as Thursday I zip to Louisiana for my reunion.
+
+Anyhow, I’m not going to blog the seminar in any extensive way, but I am at least going to attempt to keep some kind of record of what I’ve seen.
