Student doc on architect Frank Furness on new “Film Vault”

Italian Market in Philadelphia, 1972

Tune in to TUTV Monday for another hour-long program of From the Temple Student Film Vault, featuring films made by Temple students who attended the University in the 70s and 80s.

This episode includes four documentaries, all of which portray notable Philadelphia moments or institutions. Edwin Moses made “Underdog” in the weeks preceding the 1975 mayoral election in Philadelphia, portraying contemporary media coverage, press conferences, and interviews with citizens on the street. This film serves as a time capsule of this moment in the city’s history.

Another piece titled “O.I.C.” shows the Philadelphia Opportunities Industrialization Center in 1974 and its function helping people acquire jobs across the city.

From student Bob Steele comes a  documentary on Frank Furness, an influential architect from Philadelphia whose buildings remain as some of the most iconic in the city, and another on public art in the city.

See these historical pieces made by Temple alumni on Monday, January 9 at 1 and 9 p.m.
