New York State Council on the Arts, the Collective closed its doors in 1991, transferring much of its material to Anthology Film Archives. The last home of the Collective, at 41 White Street, was for some time The Flea Theater before they moved to their current location. Members Original founders included Ken Ross, Philip Weisman, Lushe Sacker, Mark Graff, Amy Halpern, Andrea Graff, Renée Shafransky. Many people affiliated with the Collective for Living Cinema were or have gone on to be quite influential in media, such the late Alf Bold, the former programmer of the Arsenal Kino in Berlin, Judith Shulevitz, the columnist for The New York Times and Slate, and John Sloss, the attorney and film producer who has produced more than 40 films, including Far From Heaven, Before Sunset, Personal Velocity, and The Fog of War. Others are noted artists such as the filmmaker Lizzie Borden, who very appropriately taught film editing at the Collective.
