Sometime during the winter of 1998 Carole Roseman invited a group of neighbors to her house to discuss how to create a film club that would bring art, independent and foreign films in closer reach to residents of Columbia County.

They approached Tony Quirino, owner of the wonderful single screen, vintage theater in Chatham, and asked him to rent them the theater once a month.
