From 1998 - 2004, Collective: Unconscious hosted the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema (RBMC), curated by Bradley Eros and Brian Frye. RBMC is dedicated to Robert Beck, an American serviceman in WWI, stricken by shellshock, leaving him deaf and dumb. While viewing a film in a sanatorium, Mr. Beck broke into peals of laughter and was suddenly cured of his affliction. The film that cured Mr. Beck was never discovered, but the curators launched the series in the hopes that the films that are seen will inspire similar kinds of spontaneous awakening. RBMC features both curated and spur-of -the-moment screenings for all levels of filmmakers that all enlighten on some level.
