Bill Cosford was a popular adjunct professor in the University of Miami <School of Communication’s motion pictures program, who served as film critic and arts writer for the Miami Herald from 1973 until his untimely death from pneumonia in 1994 at age 47. He was a champion for the Beaumont Cinema (the theater’s former name), helping it to become a fully operational art film house for the public, something he thought the area desperately needed.
