RE[73]: Can you help me find The Cure for Insomnia?

walktothepit

My message to the Art Institute of Chicago Archives

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well in beautiful Chicago. I am writing from [redacted] a student fascinated by experimental film. I understand that The Cure for Insomnia was screened at the School of the AIC in 1976. The film is an incredibly important piece of film history as a testament to the extreme dedication of man to his craft. For the last several decades, curious inquisitors such as myself have been unable to view this 85 hour long film or read the poem by L.D. Groban featured therein. I am asking if you happen to have any idea how I could gain access to this film. I think a proper investigation into the archives at AIC and beyond is beyond necessary for this piece of history worthy of preservation.
Please let me know if there is any chance I can get in touch with someone directly to talk about possibly uncovering this essential piece of film history.

Thank you,
[redacted]
