Danny Glover & Charles Burnett celebrated by Criterion Pictures Last September, PTFF honored Danny Glover and Charles Burnett with one of the first screenings of their newly restored, To Sleep with Anger, first released in 1990. Burnett and Glover sat side by side in the audience at the American Legion Hall, seeing their portrait of family resilience, steeped in the traditions of black mysticism and folklore, for the first time in over 20 years. Rocky Friedman’s conversation with these two cinematic legends following the film was a once in a lifetime moment. To Sleep with Anger is now available for everyone to rediscover! To purchase, click HERE. This season we are grateful to Dale Fountain at Fountain Chiropractic, for her year-round support of First Tuesday Salon. We publicize this event each month only through this newsletter. The film we screen at 7 p.m. is one of those currently playing at the Rose Theatre, with a guest engaging the audience in a lively conversation afterwards. For example Joseph Bednarik, Copper Canyon Press, joined us after Can You Ever Forgive Me, to tell us stories about the perils of plagiarism & publishing. After attending one of our salons, Dale, who wants our whole community to be healthy, decided to help us continue our conversations about art and the human experience. With so many dynamic groups in our small town doing important work, we are honored that Fountain Chiropractic chose PTFF as one way to reach out to everyone. Thanks Dale!!

Scott in the NY Times, “Lee Israel may be the single most interesting movie character you will encounter this year, which is not to say that she’s altogether pleasant company. She would most likely feel the same way about you, minus the “interesting” part, unless you happen to be a cat or Dorothy Parker. It has been a while since a world-class, life-size misanthrope like Lee has commanded the screen—not another brooding narcissist or a showily difficult cable TV antihero, but a smart, cranky human recognizably made of flesh and blood. Also whiskey, bile and typewriter ink.” Read the complete review HERE. This true story of writer Lee Israel, perfectly played by Melissa McCarthy, takes the audience down the slippery slope of choices made to simply pay the rent. Joseph Bednarik, Copper Canyon Press, joins us in the theatre after the movie to talk about truth, fiction, and the role publishers must play in verifying the difference. You are someone who gets it. You support the arts, and especially PTFF, because you know we CAN live on bread alone, but life is so much richer with a local film festival that hosts events year round.

The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right. THE HATE U GIVE is based on the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller by Angie Thomas and stars Amandla Stenberg as Starr, with Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Issa Rae, KJ Apa, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Common and Anthony Mackie.

    Vice President for Institute Affairs and Secretary of the Corporation One of the Institute’s four corporate officers, the vice president for Institute affairs and secretary of the Corporation is responsible for MIT’s communications, including the coordination of policy issues with the senior administration and trustees of the Corporation. The vice president for Institute affairs has management responsibilities for the Conference Services, Events and Information Center, News Office, Publishing Services Bureau, and Reference Publications Office. The secretary of the Corporation oversees the operations of MIT’s board of trustees and its committees, including the 30 visiting committees that conduct biennial reviews of the Institute’s academic and research programs. Each year MIT opens its doors to the most promising students from across the country and the world. Together with our faculty, they are discovering next-generation solutions to the earth’s energy and environment problems, making advances that will sustain the nation’s economic growth, and developing tools that will allow the United States to outpace its technological competitors. As a result, MIT is a destination for visitors of all kinds: prospective students and their parents, intellectual partners and government leaders, close neighbors and foreign dignitaries. Others in the world visit the Institute virtually, whether exploring a subject in OpenCourseWare, clicking onto our homepage, or simply hearing about us in the media. There have never been more ways to learn about MIT; and it is happening at a time when the problems we are solving are more urgent than ever and our opportunity to lead has never been more important.

  • SFSFF 2018 Program Book
    elcome to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for five days and nights of live cinema! This is SFSFFʼs twenty-third year of sharing revered silent-era Wmasterpieces and newly revived discoveries as they were meant to be experienced—with live musical accompaniment. We’ve even added a day, so there’s more to enjoy of the silent-era’s treasures, including features from nine countries and inventive experiments from cinema’s early days and the height of the avant-garde. A nonprofit organization, SFSFF is committed to educating the public about silent-era cinema as a valuable historical and cultural record as well as an art form with enduring relevance. In a remarkably short time after the birth of moving pictures, filmmakers developed all the techniques that make cinema the powerful medium it is today— everything except for the ability to marry sound to the film print. Yet these films can be breathtakingly modern. They have influenced every subsequent generation of filmmakers and they continue to astonish and delight audiences a century after they were made. SFSFF also carries on silent cinemaʼs live music tradition, screening these films with accompaniment by the worldʼs foremost practitioners of putting live sound to the picture. Showcasing silent-era titles, often in restored or preserved prints, SFSFF has long supported film preservation through the Silent Film Festival Preservation Fund. In addition, over time, we have expanded our participation in major film restoration projects, premiering four features and some newly discovered documentary footage at this event alone. This year coincides with a milestone birthday of film scholar extraordinaire Kevin Brownlow, whom we celebrate with an onstage appearance on June 2.
