We are presenting a program I thought might catch your interest:
JAN 17, Thursday at 8pm
SEARCH AND RESCUE: FILM SOUP
Film Soup is the second in a series of Search and Rescue collaborations with the University of Washington Libraries Special Collections historical film archive. This eclectic evening is culled from a wide variety of one-of-a-kind, rarely seen films recently restored by the University of Washington Libraries as part of an ongoing effort to save our visual history and make it accessible to the public. The program includes titles like A BIT OF EVERYTHING—FROM PIG RODEO TO WEIRD SCIENCE, DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW, SPOTLIGHT ON ALASKA, and PENGUINS, PUBLIC OPINION LAB, AND OTHER TREATS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. From home movies of Barrow, Alaska and Saudi Arabia, to amateur footage of Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy, to educational films like FIGHTING SHIPS FOR FIGHTING MEN, Film Soup is the best kind of cinematic soul food you can find. Join us as we imagine the past and remember the future. The screening will include program notes and comments from Nicolette Bromberg, Visual Materials Curator, and Hannah Palin, Film Archives Specialist.
