Biographical / Historical
Tom Luddy became the Pacific Film Archive's second director following Sheldon Renan's departure in 1975. Luddy graduated from
the University of California at Berkeley where he obtained a B.A. and during his time as a student he operated several film
societies. Upon graduation, Luddy began his career by distributing international films at Brandon Films in New York City.
In 1972, he returned to Berkeley where he served as program director at the PFA, before becoming archive director and curator
in 1975. Luddy remained in this position until 1980, when he left to join Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios as director
of special projects.

UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of correspondence, internal memoranda and notes generated in the course of Luddy's work at the Pacific
Film Archive. The earliest material begins with Luddy's first official position at PFA as program director in 1972, and continues
through his appointment as archive director and curator in 1975, ending with his resignation in 1980, when he left to pursue
a film producing career.
Coverage is primarily over the period 1975-1980. The majority of the material covers the day-to-day logistics of scheduling
programs. The cycle Luddy used to accomplish this became increasingly well defined over time. He would develop ideas, often
by scanning reviews, initiate correspondence with holders of rights, contact directors to propose a personal appearance, negotiate
rental, honoraria and transport, schedule the series, and finally print the calendar and introduce the event.
At any particular time, Luddy would be working on a small number of large-scale projects in conjunction with programmers at
other institutions, most notably the Museum of Modern Art in New York. These projects, which typically centered on films of
a national cinema never or rarely seen in the United States, often involved travel to, and negotiation with, the national
film archives of those countries. Notable examples of this are the Indian and Soviet Film series presented in 1974. In between
these large projects, Luddy would program series rented from other institutions, retrospectives of known directors, other
short series and single showings. A great deal of interesting anecdotal material was generated in the course of his daily
correspondence, often as an aside in a letter dealing with PFA business. Some examples of this include letters describing
the funeral of Henri Langlois, events that happened during personal appearances at the PFA (Howard Hawks, Kenji Mizoguchi,
and others) and day-to-day events in the lives of Luddy's associates (Sterling Hayden, Agnes Varda, Francois Truffaut).
In addition to film programming, a significant proportion of the material deals with benefit screenings Luddy organized on
behalf of the PFA, most notably for Francis Ford Coppola's film
Apocalypse Now and Werner Herzog's
Nosferatu. There is also some material relating to the acquisition or copying of prints for the PFA collection.

Arrangement
This series is arranged topically according to Luddy's original filing convention. In some cases related files have been consolidated.
Small files are consolidated by year. The order of files is chronological by the date in which the majority of the films covered
in a program were shown. If several programs are filed together (e.g. Soviet Cinema), filing is based on the most significant
date, usually that of the largest program. If the program was never shown, filing is by the last known proposed date. The
Series is further divided into 3 distinct subseries to reflect the nature of the programming. The subseries are labeled as
follows, Subseries 1, General; Subseries 2, Curriculum; and Subseries 3, Benefits.

Arrangement
This series is arranged alphabetically by the name of the recipient/sender. In cases of official correspondence it is filed
under the name of the organization rather than the individual. In some cases, such as correspondence written by different
individuals on the same topic, the correspondence may have been consolidated if there isn't enough to justify splitting into
individual files, e.g. Henri Langlois Funeral.
