Cinémonde #23: Tuesday February 28th For a Screening of “The Salt of Life” and “The Glitch”
Posted on 24. Feb, 2012 by Birdsong in Arts, Community, Events
You are cordially invited to a night of independent cinema, food, drinks, prizes, and good company Tuesday February 28th at The Roger Smith Hotel.
More info about Cinemonde here.
Purchase tickets here.
Cinémonde #23 takes us to the sun-kissed cobblestones of the Trastevere quarter of Rome for a sneak preview of the warm and witty follow-up to the 2010 sleeper hit, MID-AUGUST LUNCH (screened at Cinémonde #9). This evening will be pure Italian, from menu to wine selection to this sparkling new film from writer/director/actor Gianni Di Gregorio. With THE SALT OF LIFE, Di Gregorio has created another bittersweet comedy, playing a middle-aged retiree trying as best he can to navigate his life between a spendthrift mother, a distant wife, a daughter with her live-in slacker boyfriend, a sexy neighbor and her big dog. All our hero is looking for is a little feminine company. But despite his valiant efforts, full of gentlemanly, gracious approaches to a variety of attractive ladies, Gianni’s love life takes some unexpected and hilarious twists and turns.
Reservations are open until noon on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
Jane Goodall – One night only… (Video Archive 9/27/2011)
Posted on 21. Sep, 2011 by Birdsong in Arts, Community, Events, Hotel
(Via fathomevents.com)
Join NCM Fathom and MDA Productions for a rare and intimate evening LIVE with Jane Goodall as we take a look at the private person behind the famous icon.
On September 27th at 8pm ET/7pm CT/ 6pm MT/8pm PT(tape delayed), for only one night, famed chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall will appear LIVE in hundreds of select movie theaters throughout the country for an exciting and unique event.
To submit your question(s) for Jane to answer on event night visit the JaneGoodalLive Facebook page.
This entirely unique movie theatre broadcast will highlight not only the 50 years of Jane Goodall’s most extraordinary observations of the wild chimpanzees in Tanzania, but will provide rare insight into who Jane is today. This special LIVE event will be broadcast exclusively to a national audience in nearly 500 theatres and will unveil never-before-seen 45-year-old 8mm film footage shot in her first years in the African forest, and just recently discovered in Jane’s home attic in Britain as well as Jane and music legend Dave Matthews will talk about their experiences in the field. In addition, other celebrity friends like Academy Award Nominated and Winner Best Actress Charlize Theron will look with Jane at her first day ever in the forbidding jungle as a 26 year-old from Britain and will interact with the national audience attendees. This intimate setting will provide a look at the fun and playful Jane few get to see.
The event also features the national debut of the multi-million dollar cinemagraphic story “Jane’s Journey,” with appearances by Academy Award Winner for Best Supporting Actress Angelina Jolie and James Bond’s Pierce Brosnan. This biography is a fascinating four-year look at Goodall’s diverse days across three continents, viewing chimpanzees in the jungle and hippos in steamy pools in Tanzania, explosive, calving glaciers in Greenland, and meeting challenged youth on the Pine Ridge Native American reservation.
Jane Goodall is one of the most universally respected figures on earth. Her power has come from her unique vision and strong values. Now at 77–and still traveling 300 days a year– her amazing body of work and accomplishments span 50 years and at this one night live event, you have a rare opportunity to look into the life of one the world’s most extraordinary people.

Girl 2.0 Event

TWITTAMENTARY: GIRL 2.0 NYC FINALE
The sneak preview of Twittamentary will be the closing event for the New York portion of Girl 2.0, a global campaign focused on driving female innovation and technology between China and the U.S.
TWITTAMENTARY: THE FILM
Twitter accelerates serendipity. Bonds are forged as a result of unexpected encounters between strangers as they share moments of their lives real time.
Twitter also attracts controversy. Cynics see the popular micro-blogging service as the breeding ground of ‘narcissists’ and “micro celebrities” who are lured by the promise of instant fame.
Why has this seemingly banal micro-blogging service captured the world’s imagination?
In this documentary, filmmaker Tan Siok Siok (@sioksiok) peels away the hype and explores the human dimensions of how lives connect and intersect, and then are affected and changed as result of encounters on Twitter.
Here is a list of some people that took their time to be a part of the film:

In on the rocks, two dudes are confronted with the task of scoring ice for drinks for their dates. What happens to them on this journey is both destructive and life affirming. The protaganists are faced with a grisly task in order to get the ice cold redemption which they seek. We are faced with the question: Will this experience put their friendship “on the rocks” or will it strengthen their resolve?
Director: Sean Cunningham 2009
