I apologize for the choppy posting non-schedule lately. I am from a shore town in New Jersey, and Sandy has pulled my attention elsewhere as I've been following news, relief efforts, and been in contact with friends and family from the area (everyone is safe, though displaced to varying degrees). Expect a return to normalcy after the weekend; until then, I'll post as I can. If you also have suffered loss from this disaster, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
In the mean time, SAB Lost Films is screening Beasts of the Southern Wild this weekend. This film follows 6-year-old Hushpuppy and her father, Wink, in a Louisiana community called the Bathtub; as a storm approaches, Wink imparts survival knowledge to Hushpuppy and she struggles with the guilt that she caused the flooding of the bayou through an impulsive wish. It's a beautiful narrative story with a powerful ending that will stay with you for a very long time.
The connection to the flood was completely unintentional; however, given the theme and timing, all proceeds from ticket and concessions sales will be donated to relief efforts in NY and NJ, where many students call home. Additionally, the Friday 9:30PM showing will feature a 30-minute Q&A with producer Michael Gottwald at the conclusion of the film. All are welcome to attend this unique experience!
We hope to see you this weekend at Parmer.
