The University Film Society (UFS) was formed in 1962 by Al Milgrom to show foreign and independent films. The first film programs were shown during the University of Minnesota's Spring Quarter, 1962, at the Bell Museum of Natural History. In the early 1980s, UFS was incorporated as the Minnesota Film Center, a non-profit organization, yet it retained the University Film Society name.
