Feather, coordinator for the festival. “First, we want to bring independent cinema to Ashtabula County for the fi rst TTT time. In the past, residents interested in seeing something other than a commercial release or Valentine’s Day Specials coming soon! documentary fi lms have had to travel to Cleveland for that experience. “Second, we want to give our Ohio fi lmmakers a forum in which their work can be screened. Submissions may be New authentic Mexican menu items every weekend! made through FilmFreeway now through mid- January. We are focusing on short subjects this year, but welcome all entries.” Happy Hour “Finally, we want young people who have an interest in fi lmmaking to have the opportunity Daily 3-6pm to connect to the programs that are available at Ohio schools. Parents often don’t understand the Mon & Wed: Margaritas $1.99 All Day breadth of the fi lmmaking degree or job opportunities, and this event will help them and their Thurs: Beer Specials teens learn more about the fi eld,” Feather says. On Feb. 19, a faculty member from Baldwin Wallace University will give a short presentation on “Why Study Film” as part of that school’s program. ,AKE 2OAD s 440-964-5452 Feather, a fi lmmaker himself, says there is a huge amount of fi lmmaking going on in Just West of Rt 45 in Saybrook northeast Ohio, but most people are unaware of it. Ashtabula County has lagged behind other communities in making it accessible to the general public. “The Lodge is the natural venue for this because of its excellent projection system, beautiful surroundings and commitment to the growing tourism in the area,” Feather says. “The management of The Lodge and the Ashtabula County Board of Commissioners have been extremely supportive of this eff ort and are making every accommodation to ensure that it will be a success and become an annual event.” He adds that the festival will create relationships between fi lmmakers and Geneva-on-the- Lake, which would benefi t from an independent fi lm series in the summer months. Additionally, the Forum will introduce fi lmmakers to the many location possibilities in the county and thereby drive more tourism. “As Ohio’s largest county, we provide fi lmmakers with diverse landscape and settings, from nautical to agricultural, from vineyards to Victorian homes, and from small towns to grungy urban landscapes,” Feather says. “We are aff ordable, accessible and authentic.” The event forum kicks off on Feb. 5 with a program of short subjects from independent fi lmmakers from around Ohio. Genres include science fi ction, art and documentary works. An hour of fi lms made by the A-tech students will follow. At 5 p.m., there will be an encore showing of “We Lived on Oak Street,” the hour-long documentary about the Finnish migration to Ashtabula Harbor. The fi lm was produced last year as part of an exhibit at The Lodge. At 6:15 p.m., the Film Forum’s Super 8 Bowl party begins with two hours of campy short subjects presented on 16mm fi lm. The fi lms are from a local private collection and will include some rare footage from Ashtabula. The Feb. 12 program will be presented by Ohio University’s Master’s Film Program; Baldwin Wallace and KSU fi lms will be presented on Feb. 19. The Film Forum wraps up on Feb. 26 with features from local fi lmmakers.

Tuesday, January 17th and Humourist. 1869 ~ 1944 Whether seen on HBO’s Treme, or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by We Offer the tuba/sousaphone player Philip Frazier, his brother, bass drummer Keith Frazier, and trumpeter Kermit Ruffi ns, along with other classmates and marching band members from Joseph S. Clark Personal Service Senior High School in New Orleans’ Tremé neighborhood, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. You’ve Missed Lately While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. “Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s AUTO • HOME a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.” In the wake of the sometimes - stringent competition amongst New Orleans brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of BUSINESS • LIFE slowing down. Rebirth Brass Band is known for combining traditional New Orleans brass band music, including the New Orleans tradition of second line, with funk, jazz, soul and hip hop. The group released its fi rst album, “Here to Stay” in 1984 on Arhoolie Records which was recorded in a Tremé TREEN neighborhood bar.

Scott Treen Legendary vocal group “The Four Freshmen” return to Nighttown Saturday, January 21st for 2 shows - 5 and 7pm. IN THE BEGINNING In 1948, four young men created a sound that forever changed the way vocal jazz harmony was heard and performed. Known as The Four Freshmen, the group started with two brothers, Don and Ross Barbour, their cousin Bob Flanigan, and friend Hal Kratzsch. With a soaring true tenor in Flanigan, the group began a sound that has endured for over 6 decades. Kratzsch sang the bass part and played trumpet. He sang the bass part with such a big sound and laid a foundation for the Barbour brothers to add their beautiful inner part stylings. Ross sang the 3rd part and played drums. Don sang the 2nd part and played guitar. Thus, the original Four Freshmen was born and began touring, playing bowling DON PERRY alleys and small clubs across the country.
