Peter Pre-Show Giveaway Sponsors: was at one time on the Board of Directors of Pickford Film Center and devoted countless hours to the Pickford and arts in Bellingham. He recently worked for many years for the Bellingham Downtown Partnership as their landscaping lead, keeping our streets beautiful and our flower baskets from drying up and blowing away. Thank you, Peter, for your service, dedication and humor. -Pickford Film Center Staff and Board Brian Patterson had an outsized effect on Pickford Film Center’s nascent years and on my life, personally. Not only did Brian offer a room in his home to me as I transitioned out-of-state to Bellingham in the early days of The Pickford Cinema, his work as a tireless board-member and eventual board-president was Sustaining Level Sponsors: marked by an always enthusiastic belief in the power of film to do good things in the world. Brian had a sweet disposition, an always enthusiastic outlook on the future of what we used to call the “Whatcom Film Association” and the zeal of a proselytizer when it came to films he loved. Brian eventually put his love of film to the test, going to film school, which took him away from Bellingham but toward a fulfilling new life. He passed his instructor-baton at Whatcom Community College to me—introducing me to Bob Winters and what More Than | pickfordfilmcenter.org Movies | AUGUST / SEPTEMBER | 360.738.0735 2019 would be a very fulfilling half decade teaching film history courses.

NEW TITLES The Generous Fish BY JACQUELINE JULES, ILLUSTRATED BY FRANCES TYRRELL Inspired by Jewish folklore, The Generous Fish is the story of a young boy named Reuven who takes a verse from scripture to “cast your bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1) quite literally. The result of his daily act is a giant talking fish with golden scales! Boy and fish spend idyllic days together until the villagers realize those scales are real gold. Every villager has good reason to ask for one. Devorah needs clothes for her children. Old Joseph needs money for a cane. The fish says he has plenty to share. But he grows weak from giving away too much, too fast. Can Reuven stand up to the village and save his friend? Jacqueline Jules is the author of forty books for young readers, including the award-winning Zapato Power series, Never Say a Mean Word Again: A Tale from Medieval Spain, and Feathers for Peacock. A former school librarian and teacher, Jacqueline enjoys visiting schools to share her passion for reading and writing. She is a word person, who loves rearranging words on the page, the same way people have fun fitting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. Jacqueline lives in Arlington, Virginia.

The assembly and entertainment functions of the Center became nonconforming in 1978, when the subject property was rezoned to the RM‐4 District, which does not permit such activities. The proposal is to continue the operation of the nonconforming entertainment and assembly uses, as well as the existing food and beverage service uses, which are conditionally permitted within the Nob Hill Special Use District. No enlargement or intensification of the existing nonconforming use, and no change to the physical configuration of the Center is proposed as part of the request for Conditional Use authorization. The maximum capacity of the auditorium would remain at 3,282 persons. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE The Project Site is located on the south side of California Street between Jones and Taylor Streets, Block 0253, Lot 020. The subject property is located within the RM‐4 (Residential Mixed, High Density) District, the 65‐A Height and Bulk District, and the Nob Hill Special Use District.

  • The Only Black Man at the Party Joni Mitchell Enters the Rock Canon
    1/30/2015 Genders OnLine Journal - Presenting innovative theories in art, literature, history, music, TV and film. Issue 56, Fall 2012 The Only Black Man at the Party Joni Mitchell Enters the Rock Canon By MILES PARKS GRIER [1] On Halloween of 1976, a week before her thirty­third birthday, singer­songwriter Joni Mitchell strutted into a Los Angeles party in dark pancake makeup and a pimp’s suit and passed for a black man. For the next six years, Mitchell appeared intermittently in this character, whom she named Art Nouveau. On the cover of the December 1977 double­album Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter (DJRD), Art strides confidently into the foreground while the blonde singer frolics behind him. Clever editing of the 1980 concert film Shadows and Light puts Art in Mitchell’s place to close the last verse of “Furry Sings the Blues”—an ironic choice as the lyric portrays the singer as a contemporary white star on a pilgrimage several decades too late to witness black Memphis’s giving birth to the blues. Art’s final appearance in 1982 was in a short film called “The Black Cat in the Black Mouse Socks” in which Mitchell’s character, Paula, attends a costume party in the guise of a black man and meets a former lover there. In “Black Cat,” Art supplemented his makeup and pimp suit with a final accessory: a portable casette player pumping out selections of Miles Davis’s music. “Black Cat” was Mitchell’s contribution to Love, an unreleased Canadian anthology of female­authored films—and Art Nouveau’s unheralded exit from public view.
