SHORT SYNOPSIS IN THE SAME BREATH, directed by Nanfu Wang (“One Child Nation”), recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the healthcare workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I spent a lot of my childhood in hospitals taking care of my father, who had rheumatic heart disease.

    Man on Wire Discussion Guide

    www.influencefilmclub.com Man on Wire Discussion Guide Director: James Marsh Year: 2008 Time: 94 min You might know this director from: Project Nim (2011) Shadow Dancer (2012) The King (2005) FILM SUMMARY MAN ON WIRE is the story of French tightrope walker Philippe Petit who, on August 7, 1974, broke into the newly constructed Twin Towers of Manhattan. After months of painstaking preparations, he managed to enter the buildings during the night and string a wire between the two towers. For the next 45 minutes, Philippe Petit walked, danced, kneeled, and laid down on the wire - an expeirence he had dreamt of ever since he read about the Twin Towers six years before. Using contemporary interviews, archival footage, and Philippe’s own creations, this film tells the story of Philippe’s previous walks between towers such as the Notre Dame and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Viewers learn about his passions, his friendships, and how he accomplished his Twin Towers walk, from getting the wire into the towers and hiding from guards to mounting the wire and taking the first step. The result is a story of daring, beauty, dedication to the point of insanity, loyalty and heartbreak, and the firm belief that nothing is impossible. Discussion Guide Man on Wire 1 www.influencefilmclub.com FILM THEMES On the surface, MAN ON WIRE may appear to be about one man’s determination to achieve his dream, but the story reveals a lot about human nature, from friendship and loyalty to dreaming beyond the norm “I must be a and achieving the impossible.

    LIBRARY LAUNCHES BOOK/FILM SERIES IN APRIL The Gates Public Library is excited to launch The Art of Adaptation, a unique monthly book/film discussion series starting in April. The series explores movie adaptations of books. Each month, participants will read a designated book and then watch the movie version. On the second Wednesday evening of the month at 7:00 p.m., we will gather by Zoom for an informal discussion, exploring how the adaptation stacked up, and the strengths and weaknesses of different storytelling media. The diverse books cover the period 1939 to 2010, and the movie versions encompass a variety of genres, including drama, musical, horror, and works based on true stories. The books and movies are available to borrow free from Gates Public Library, or to download/stream from the library’s OverDrive and Hoopla services (details below). 2021 SCHEDULE All discussion on Zoom begins at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month. After signing up you will be given the Zoom link. April 14: The Haunting, based on The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (book 1959, film 1963). A small group of people investigate a purportedly haunted house. Considered by many (including Stephen King) to be one of the 20th century’s best ghost stories, the book has been translated to media multiple times, including two film adaptations, a Netflix series, a radio drama, and two stage plays. We’ll discuss the top-notch 1963 film version, starring Julie Harris and Claire Bloom. [ Check out ebook or e-audiobook on OverDrive | Stream Movie on Hoopla ] May 12: The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler (book 1985, film 1988).
