Seth Winner’s series of presentations at the 1999, 2014, and 2019 ARSC annual conferences were enthusiastically received. In 2011, 2012 and 2017, Shout! Factory issued three boxed sets on DVD featuring his pioneering television work. This program will be a joint presentation with Ben Model, archivist for the Kovacs collection, who curated the aforementioned DVD packages. What the issued material showed and reinforced was his use of music (mostly classical) in creating various comic and serious video sketches, which were precursors of the music videos that became so popular several decades later. This program (which will occur a week before the Kovacs Centenary officially ends on the 23rd) will present a wide swath of material. Some of the highlights will be from the commercials he created for Dutch Masters Cigars to parts of the now famous “Silent Show” telecast in 1957, and “Kovacs on Music” telecast in 1959. In 1996 Ben Model created one of the first Ernie Kovacs fan websites. Soon after its launch, Edie Adams emailed him to let him know how much she appreciated the website, and this led to a long friendship with Adams and, eventually, to Model’s working with her son, Josh Mills, on and becoming the archivist for the Ernie Kovacs/Edie Adams (Ediad) Collection. It was in this capacity that Model has curated the “Ernie Kovacs Collection” DVD box sets for Shout! Factory, as well as the box set of “Here’s Edie” shows for MVD.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBen Model is one of the nation's leading silent film accompanists, and performs his original scores on both piano and theatre organ. Over the past 35 years he has created and performed live scores for several hundred silent films. Ben is a resident film accompanist at the Museum of Modern Art (NY) and at the Library of Congress's Packard Campus Theatre. His relationship with the Library of Congress led to its acquisition in 2014 of the Ediad collection of original Kovacs and Adams videotapes and kinescopes. Model's recorded silent film scores can be heard on numerous DVD/Blu-Ray releases, on TCM and on his YouTube channel. His DVD label Undercrank Productions has released several discs of rare/lost silent films, including films preserved by the Library of Congress. Model is a regular accompanist at classic film festivals around the U.S.A. and internationally, and performs at universities, museums, and historic theaters. He is currently a Visiting Professor of Film Studies at Wesleyan University. web: www.silentfilmmusic Twitter/Instagram: @silentfilmmusic.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSeth B.
