2 Mr. Macy noted that the WGBH grant was one of several made recently by the Corporation for the purpose of developing new film-making talent for public television. In recent weeks, CPB has granted $26,000 to help establish a Southwest Creative Film Center at KLRN-TV, Austin, Texas and $75,000 to the American Film Institute. Mr. Macy said other film-making proposals are currently under consideration. "Through programs of this kind," he said, "we hope to bring into public television some of the creativity being displayed in independent film making. We want to demonstrate to film makers and young, creative people in general that public television holds considerable promise as a place where their talents can grow. In addition, we want to show the viewing public that public television programs can be exciting." (END)
