SEX ED Q&A at the Music Hall Sunday, November 9th

by

When Eddie (Haley Joel Osment) lands his first teaching gig at an inner city middle school, he quickly finds that his highly pubescent pupils are receiving no form of sexual education.  Eddie isn’t exactly equipped to teach them – he’s a virgin.  And he’s falling in love with Pilar (Lorenza Izzo), the older sister of one of his students.  But Eddie goes off lesson plan anyway, delving into the world of menstrual cycles and sexually transmitted infections, and in doing so, incurring the wrath of the local Reverend (Chris Williams).

The SEX ED filmmakers will participate in a Q&A after the 7:30 PM screening on Sunday, November 9th.

Q&A at the Music Hall with Director of ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE has been cancelled.

by

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE is a documentary that focuses on the lives and dreams of the children of Good Morning School in the district of Mae Sot, Thailand. Mae Sot is a town on the Thai-Burma border where hundreds of thousands of Burmese nationals have chosen to live as a result of the repressive actions taken by Burma’s military junta. They fled from Burma and escaped to Mae Sot with the hope that they would be able to sustain their families and become free from the fear of getting shot and arrested. However, the vast majority of Burmese in the town exist as people without nationality, rights or any solid future. This is the harsh reality that the Burmese children in Mae Sot have to face every day. The documentary highlights not just their plight, but also the positive way that these children go about their lives in conditions and under circumstances we dare not even imagine.

THE DECENT ONE Q&A’s with Filmmaker Vanessa Lappa this Weekend at the Music Hall

by

A recently discovered cache of hundreds of personal letters, diaries, and photographs belonging to Nazi Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler seems to reveal a thoughtful, loving husband and devoted father to his daughter, Gudrun. The documents were hidden in Tel Aviv for decades and sold to the father of the Israeli documentary filmmaker, Vanessa Lapa. With her film THE DECENT ONE she has fashioned a fascinating case study: a portrait of the man responsible for some of the worst atrocities of the Second World War, who thought of himself in heroic terms. Ms. Lapa will discuss Himmler and her film during Q&A’s after the 7:20 PM screenings of THE DECENT ONE at the Music Hall, Friday-Sunday, October 10-12.
