History edit

Harvard-Radcliffe Film Workshop (HRFW) edit

In 1975, Bob Doyle who was then working as a research fellow in Harvard's Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, founded the Harvard-Radcliffe Film Workshop (HRFW), which offered filmmaking instruction and film screenings in the Morse Music Library in the basement of Pforzheimer House, which was then known as North House.[8]

In the 1980s, Doyle helped form the Desktop Video Group to "support undergraduate video production and television distribution" at Brown and Harvard Universities.[9]

Harvard-Radcliffe Television (HRTV) edit

In 1992, Emily Brodsky founded Harvard-Radcliffe Television (HRTV).[8] That same year, Ivory Tower, the Ivy League's oldest soap opera, became one of HRTV's first shows.[10]

Until 1996, HRTV's shows were edited using Desktop Video Group equipment. In 1996, the Morse Music Library, which had previously been the site of HRFW's instruction sessions and film screenings, was re-organized into a television studio for HRTV, overseen by Doyle and aided financially by Pforzheimer House.[8]

In its early years, HRTV screened its shows in dormitory common rooms and dining halls,[8] as well as on various Cambridge Public-access television cable TV channels.[11][12][13] In 2006, HRTV began posting all of its shows exclusively online, though episodes of Ivory Tower had been posted online before then.[14]

Several prominent Harvard alumni in the film and television industries have been members of the HRTV Honorary Board of Advisers, including Matt Damon, Conan O'Brien, Mira Sorvino, Jack Lemmon, Elisabeth Shue, and John Lithgow.[8]

Harvard Undergraduate Television (HUTV) edit

On April 6, 2009, HRTV relaunched as Harvard Undergraduate Television, under the direction of co-president Derek Flanzraich.[5] The transformation included a new website and a short promotional video featuring Harvard professor and prominent psychologist Steven Pinker smashing a television and telling viewers to "get with the times" by watching television online.[15]

Current Shows edit

HUTV Productions edit

HUTV currently produces eight shows.[16]

Content Partners edit

HUTV also currently features three "content partners" on its site.[16] These shows are not produced by HUTV staff, but according to HUTV's website "HUTV distributes their content as part of [their] mission to connect media groups on the Harvard campus."[33]
