B ut when her plans fall apart\, the girl stumbles into a mysterious world of Russian sailors\, high-stakes gambling\, and unexpected love.\n \n D rawn from the coming-of-age experiences of writer Gabrielle Berberich\, 'Greetings From The Shore' is part memoir\, part fairytale. The film was shot on an island off the coast of New Jersey\, Barnegat Island\, in th e same seaside town where the real events occurred to Berberich. Like th e setting\, each character is an island. They are loners\, dreamers brou ght together by fate for one chance summer. An ensemble cast brings thes e vivid characters to life\, including Paul Sorvino\, David Fumero\, Jay O. Sanders\, and Kim Shaw in a debut performance. The film is an homage to coming-of-age classics like 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Mystic Pizza\,' whi le in its own right\, 'Greetings From The Shore' is a unique and persona l story. It's a love letter in the sand\, a tribute to the Jersey Shore\ , and a postcard from summers past CATEGORIES:Drama, Narrative Feature LOCATION:Redfield Auditorium URL:http://woodshole.bside.com/2008/films/greetingsfromtheshore_woodshole 2008 UID:149587052-woodshole.bside.com/2008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091125T140250Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20080726T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20080726T204300 SUMMARY:Shorts I Dramatic DESCRIPTION:Flashover \nThe Vaudevillian \nSaint Nick \nAl's Beef CATEGORIES:Short Drama LOCATION:Old Fire Station URL:http://woodshole.bside.com/2008/films/shortsidramatic_woodshole2008 UID:149841664-woodshole.bside.com/2008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091125T140250Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20080726T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20080726T222400 SUMMARY:Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy DESCRIPTION:Thanks to global warming\, humanity may be approaching it's e nd soon. Unfortunately the general public seems to feel they've heard en ough about this\, and are bored with the subject. There remains only one reliable pathway to still reach people -- COMEDY!

One hundred years ago they immigrated to America and\, starting with next to nothing\, created what is today the $150 billion global health a nd beauty industry.\n \nOperating in major cities all over the world\, t heir competing companies defined the business of beauty\, making cosmeti cs both newly respectable and\, finally\, indispensable. They developed advertising and marketing techniques that became part of the business la ndscape\, and they themselves became household names and cultural icons. \n \nTheir accomplishments continue to be relevant to businesspeople tod ay. This is an inspiring story about perseverance\, genuine creativity\, and continual reinvention to meet the changing needs and demands of con sumers and society. When they started their businesses\, makeup was used mostly by prostitutes and performers\, and businesses were run mostly b y men. They changed the way we look at ourselves\, built powerful busine sses\, and became two of the world’s wealthiest women.\n \nThey influenc ed\, and were influenced by\, the major movements of the day in art and style. When the “close-up” became a staple of motion pictures\, makeup b ecame au courant. Women flocked to Madame Rubinstein and Miss Arden. But although they lived and worked only blocks apart in New York for over 5 0 years\, the two women\, by design\, never met! Their competition drove them both to great creativity and success. Whenever one launched a succ essful product\, the other sought to outdo her rival with a bigger succe ss.

Best know for her pioneering work in multichannel format vision and sound productions\, Julie will screen her powerful film PRETEND and 60 Cameras Against the War. On Wednesday \, Julie will discuss the process of making a multichannel film and the process of layering both image and sound. She will demonstrate how\, b y stripping or adding layers\, she can completely change a film that you \, as the viewer might not be aware of.\n\n1. MONDAY SCREENING: Simultan eity - images that are divided in place but connected in time - is proba bly the most common use of multi-frame work\, from the split screen of a baseball game\, to surveillance cameras on a nine-grid to popular TV sh ows. For filmmaker Julie Talen\, the divided frame - increasingly evide nt in our screen-based reality - is a new visual language of its own\, and in '60 cameras against the war\,' Talen unearthed unexpected synchro nicities among random digital videos taken in the massive but little-see n anti-war rally held in New York City on Feb 15\, 2003\, just days bef ore the invasion of Iraq. The mea culpa of 'oh\, who knew? We all believ ed the administration' is put to the lie here\, all the more effectively because the use of simultaneous footage shows how thousands of people w ere trapped by the NYPD on nearby streets while the rally itself had roo m to spare. Talen will discuss how these videos were tracked down\, pai nstakingly put on time lines and edited together to make this film\, whi ch premiered at the Whitney Museum during the RNC in 2004\; and she'll g ive other examples of how the simultaneous camera is used in fiction and documentaries\, in her own work and others.\n\n2: WEDNESDAY SCREENING - Talen explores and explodes the divided frame well beyond simultaneity in her award-winning fiction feature\, Pretend\, which A.O. Scott of the New York Times called "a harrowing\, dazzling film\," and the Village Voice lauded as unveiling "a new graphic vocabulary." In Pretend\, a si mple but clear narrative thread - the story of two girls who try to terr ify their parents into staying together - is the scaffolding on which to build experiments in multichannel narrative. After discussing simultan eity in Monday's screening\, in Pretend\, we'll look at more complex way s to connect images that are cut up on the screen: visual fugues\, realt ime scenes\, framing\, borders\, layers and superimposition.\nWhat you s ee is very influenced by what you hear and creatively changing the sound track changes how you experience the film: electronic music does one thi ng\, Prokovief another\, new voice-over from the characters' something e lse. Talen will premiere the new audio tracks for the upcoming DVD of Pr etend by Re-Voir. Few\, if any\, films avail themselves of the DVD's cap acity for new audio tracks\, other than adding audio commentary or dubbe d languages. This screening will be a sneak preview of the work-in-progr ess of Pretend with new audio.\n CATEGORIES:Experimental, Filmmaker In Residence, Panel LOCATION:Old Fire Station URL:http://woodshole.bside.com/2008/films/julietalenfilmmakerinresidence_ woodshole2008 UID:151850390-woodshole.bside.com/2008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091125T140250Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20080728T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20080728T204100 SUMMARY:Pretty Ugly People DESCRIPTION:A dying woman’s wish brings six estranged friends together in the Montana wilderness.

From 1770 to 1820\, three generations of DeWolfs transporte d over ten thousand Africans into slavery. They sailed the ships\, made the rum to be traded in West Africa\, operated sugar and coffee plantati ons in Cuba\, had an auction house\, an insurance company\, and a bank.\ n \n Contrary to the national myth that stigmatizes the South for slaver y and credits the North with abolition\, Browne's ancestors were from Rh ode Island. While the DeWolfs were unique in terms of the dynasty they c reated\, the constellation of ventures operated by them and other elites involved an enormous portion of the Northern population. Middle class c itizens bought shares in slave ships\; New England farmers sold foodstuf fs to plantations in the West Indies\; immigrant textile workers process ed Southern cotton in Northern mills.\n \n In the film\, Browne narrates a remarkable journey with nine family members that brings them face-to- face with New England's hidden enterprise. The family (ages 32-70) retra ces the steps of the Triangle Trade--journeying from their old hometown in Rhode Island\, to slave forts in Ghana and former plantations in Cuba . Browne pushes them forward as they bumble their way through the minefi eld of race politics\, and debates about reparations and repair. In the end\, they come face-to-face with their love/hate relationship to Yankee culture as they struggle with how to take public action given all that they now know.

Best know for her pioneering work in multichannel format vision and sound productions\, Julie will screen her powerful film PRETEND and 60 Cameras Against the War. On Wednesday \, Julie will discuss the process of making a multichannel film and the process of layering both image and sound. She will demonstrate how\, b y stripping or adding layers\, she can completely change a film that you \, as the viewer might not be aware of.\n\n1. MONDAY SCREENING: Simultan eity - images that are divided in place but connected in time - is proba bly the most common use of multi-frame work\, from the split screen of a baseball game\, to surveillance cameras on a nine-grid to popular TV sh ows. For filmmaker Julie Talen\, the divided frame - increasingly evide nt in our screen-based reality - is a new visual language of its own\, and in '60 cameras against the war\,' Talen unearthed unexpected synchro nicities among random digital videos taken in the massive but little-see n anti-war rally held in New York City on Feb 15\, 2003\, just days bef ore the invasion of Iraq. The mea culpa of 'oh\, who knew? We all believ ed the administration' is put to the lie here\, all the more effectively because the use of simultaneous footage shows how thousands of people w ere trapped by the NYPD on nearby streets while the rally itself had roo m to spare. Talen will discuss how these videos were tracked down\, pai nstakingly put on time lines and edited together to make this film\, whi ch premiered at the Whitney Museum during the RNC in 2004\; and she'll g ive other examples of how the simultaneous camera is used in fiction and documentaries\, in her own work and others.\n\n2: WEDNESDAY SCREENING - Talen explores and explodes the divided frame well beyond simultaneity in her award-winning fiction feature\, Pretend\, which A.O. Scott of the New York Times called "a harrowing\, dazzling film\," and the Village Voice lauded as unveiling "a new graphic vocabulary." In Pretend\, a si mple but clear narrative thread - the story of two girls who try to terr ify their parents into staying together - is the scaffolding on which to build experiments in multichannel narrative. After discussing simultan eity in Monday's screening\, in Pretend\, we'll look at more complex way s to connect images that are cut up on the screen: visual fugues\, realt ime scenes\, framing\, borders\, layers and superimposition.\nWhat you s ee is very influenced by what you hear and creatively changing the sound track changes how you experience the film: electronic music does one thi ng\, Prokovief another\, new voice-over from the characters' something e lse. Talen will premiere the new audio tracks for the upcoming DVD of Pr etend by Re-Voir. Few\, if any\, films avail themselves of the DVD's cap acity for new audio tracks\, other than adding audio commentary or dubbe d languages. This screening will be a sneak preview of the work-in-progr ess of Pretend with new audio.\n CATEGORIES:Experimental, Filmmaker In Residence, Panel LOCATION:Community Hall URL:http://woodshole.bside.com/2008/films/julietalenfilmmakerinresidence_ woodshole2008 UID:153613949-woodshole.bside.com/2008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091125T140250Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20080730T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20080730T200800 SUMMARY:Daughters of Wisdom DESCRIPTION:DAUGHTERS OF WISDOM is an intimate portrait of the nuns of Ka la Rongo\, a rare and exceptional Buddhist Monastery exclusively for wom en in remote northeastern Tibet.

Charlie inherited Midway Plantation\, the ancestral home of his and Cheshire’s extended family\, and has been its devoted caretaker. But now Charlie and his wife Dena have made a dec ision: They want to move Midway – the antebellum manor house and several outbuildings – to a new location to escape Raleigh’s encroaching sprawl .\n \n Can you really transplant a plantation? Will the “place” be the s ame if it is uprooted from the soil in which it has stood since 1848? Ch arlie’s plan provokes immediate controversy in Cheshire’s tradition-mind ed family. For Cheshire\, it brings back memories of the wild\, strange and magical place Midway seemed when he was a child\, and of the stories he heard there – stories of his mother’s family\, the Hintons\, settlin g the area in the early 1700s\, fighting in the Revolution\, being invad ed by Yankee troops in the Civil War\, and surviving Reconstruction.\n \ n Yet stories\, Cheshire realizes\, both convey and conceal. The reality of the Southern plantation was that it depended on the institution of s lavery. In Cheshire’s family\, stories of slaves always depicted them as happy and devoted\, which surely disguised a more painful\, complex rea lity. In fact\, Midway bred two sets of Hintons\, one white\, one black. For years\, they have rarely encountered each other. But that begins to change as Cheshire sets out to chronicle Charlie’s attempt to move Midw ay.

We live in a world where the production of secret knowledge dwarfs the production of open knowledge. Depending on whom you ask\, government secrecy is either the key to victory in our struggle against terrorism\, or our Achilles heel. But is so much secrecy a bad thing?\n \n Secrecy saves: counter-terrori st intelligence officers recall with fury how a newspaper article descri bing National Security Agency abilities directly led to the loss of info rmation that could have avoided the terrorist killing of 241 soldiers in Beirut late in October 1983. Secrecy guards against wanton nuclear prol iferation\, against the spread of biological and chemical weapons. Secre cy is central to our ability to wage an effective war against terrorism. \n \n Secrecy corrupts. From extraordinary rendition to warrant-less wir etaps and Abu Ghraib\, we have learned that\, under the veil of classifi cation\, even our leaders can give in to dangerous impulses. Secrecy inc reasingly hides national policy\, impedes coordination among agencies\, bloats budgets and obscures foreign accords\; secrecy throws into the da rk our system of justice and derails the balance of power between the ex ecutive branch and the rest of government.\n \n This film is about the v ast\, invisible world of government secrecy. By focusing on classified s ecrets\, the government's ability to put information out of sight if it would harm national security\, Secrecy explores the tensions between our safety as a nation\, and our ability to function as a democracy.

Executive producer Scott Masterson conceived an experimental collaborative project in which each film is w ritten and directed by a different filmmaker\, while all of the artists were required to contribute in some way to every other short in the proj ect. Knowing cohesion would allow the project to shine\, he devised a si mple but inspired theme: each of the twelve films represents a month of the year and was shot entirely in that month. The directors simply had t o capture the spirit of their month however they wished.\n\nThe result i s a smorgasbord of different genres: comedy\, drama\, ghost story\, crim e melodrama\, documentary\, and even-quite unexpectedly-musical. Togethe r we meet a robot-sport inventor\, a young woman obsessed with following a stranger\, several beekeepers\, and a man who hasn't slept in two yea rs. What holds these variety of visions together is its local flavor: TW ELVE guides us from famous sightseeing spots to familiar neighborhoods\, beckoning us into Boston's bookstores\, bars\, and candlepin bowling al leys\, leading us along the Charles and down Mass Ave. Part of the fun l ies in spotting the different ways each filmmaker incorporates a particu lar Public Garden tree and in recognizing characters from one film when they pop up in another. It is this combination of individual creation an d collaborative inventiveness that makes this film both unique in itself and distinctively Bostonian.
