movie title

• Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

No porno talk for this question...
One of our branch librarians is looking for a film title of a movie which
features a twenty-something man joining forces with an older man (possibly a
father) in the fight for civil-rights. The ending scene shows them entering
a voting facility together. No more clues unfortunately. None of my usual
sources was of any help. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Well, the best way my wife and I got past this (though lack of
projection=20
equipment, not PPR, is the real problem at the moment) was to start a
real=20
class on film study at the local school for sixth to eighth graders.
Once a=20
week, we watch a few favorite short films or clips from feature films=20
(Porter, McLaren, Keaton, Starewicz, Carol Reed, David Byrne,
Wachowski=20
Brothers, etc.), work on flipbooks, zoetropes, draw on film, and there's
an=20
actual (or, at least, a hopeful) educational contribution to the
community=20
and no ppr is needed! We just started last month, and it's a very
small=20
class, but we hope to have it grow over the next few years. There are
many=20
such programs in schools and communities around the country. A film
society=20
is still a vital cultural element in any community, but media education
of=20
school age kids brought up on TV might even be more important.

I'm sure your local school could work together with the public library
on=20
something like this -- even if the class from school meets at the
library,=20
I'm sure no distributor in their right mind would object.=20
