The Ruben/ Bentson Moving Image Collection was established in 1973 with an endowment from Edmond R. Ruben and his wife, Evelyn, who believed in collecting films as a way of preserving the art form. Today the collection includes more than 1,000 distinct titles, including documentaries, avant-garde films, and video works by artists.
