Marjorie Keller (1950-1994) was a filmmaker, activist, author, and scholar born in Yorktown, New York. She was expelled from Tufts University for participating in a protest in 1972, finishing her undergraduate coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and later pursuing a master’s degree and a doctorate in Cinema Studies at New York University. Keller’s dissertation, The Untutored Eye: Childhood in the Films of Cocteau, Cornell and Brakhage was published in 1986. Keller began making films in 1969, completing more than twenty-five films during her lifetime among which “Misconception” (1977), “Daughters of Chaos” (1980), “The Answering Furrow” (1985), and “Herein” (1991). She also produced a substantial body of writings on women’s experimental cinema. Keller taught at several institutions including the University of Rhode Island until her death in 1994. She was the first woman President of the Board of Directors at the Film-makers’ Cooperative, in New York in the early 1990s — and instrumental to their having become a non-profit organization — and also served on the Board of the Collective for Living Cinema.
