HUGE TURNOUT FOR BETWEEN THE FOLDS IN ST LOUIS
Wow! That was the first word that came to my mind as people kept flowing into the St. Louis History Museum for the screening of BETWEEN THE FOLDS last evening. This was Community Cinema at its finest. Approximately 340 people showed up for the viewing of the film and I was amazed watching the diversity of people fill the auditorium and overflow onto the steps and the sides of the theater. People of all ages laughed and clapped at various parts of the film, signaling they understood what the artists were trying to communicate to them.

ITVS’s Community Cinema has selected Between the Folds as one of the 9 monthly films for its fantastic national film series.
The film will tour cities across the country throughout the month of November 2009 for FREE screenings at libraries, museums and other public spaces.
Each screening will include a post-film panel for broader audience discussion. We’re exceptionally thrilled that Between the Folds, along with ITVS and Community Cinema and viewers across the country, will be part of a growing interdisciplinary dialogue about art, design, math, science and creativity.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll have more details on dates, times and venues. Check back for more information.
Last week, ITVS held a retreat at its San Francisco HQ to discuss the upcoming Community Cinema season and meet with filmmakers and ITVS staff, including our very own fabulous executive producer, Sally Rosenthal.
Sally blogged about the day here on the Community Cinema website.
Community Cinema is the largest civic engagement program in broadcast television, featured in over 50 cities nationwide. Screenings are followed by lively panel discussions that bring together citizens, organizations and public television stations to encourage dialogue and action around important and timely social issues.
