A cinema activist and a teacher as well as a filmmaker, Jacobs has been an integral part of the New York alternative film scene since the 1950s (the Kuchar brothers debuted their 8mm shorts in his loft). In 1966, together with his wife Flo, he established the legendary Millennium Film Workshop. Jacobs was also the cofounder – with Larry Gottheim – of one of the USA’s first cinema departments at Binghamton University, where he taught for several decades, influencing subsequent generations of filmmakers and artists such as Phil Solomon, Mark LaPore, Jim Hoberman, Art Spiegelman and Lee Ranaldo.
