Next Digital Verite': Tuesday, April 1st 2003

THIS MONTH!!!

BEDHEAD
A short film by Robert Rodriguez, the director of El Mariachi, Desprado, From Dusk Till Dawn and Spy Kids.

THE BARBER SHOP
A classic short film of W.C. Fields, will give you an idea of the brilliance of this master comic.

SUGAR SONG
The piece is a documentary -- a glimpse into the lives of South Louisiana sugarcane people. In today's world, most of us have no idea where our food truly comes from. I thought it interesting to document the farmers, their families, and their field hands. To capture the personalities of those who
dedicate their lives to sugar. To show what happens out in the green fields -- the beauty, the excitement of catching an alligator between sugarcane rows, the burning of fields (a tradition quickly dying) and the industry change seen by old French speaking farmers. Sadly, the film also covers the tragedy of the 2002 harvest. A harvest so bad we lost three farmers to suicide.

PLUS MUCH MORE, and don't forget to bring your own short on DVD or minDV (5 minutes or less).

When: Tuesday, April 1st 7:30 pm
Where: Oliver's Books in San Anselmo, California. Oliver's Books is located at 645 San Anselmo Avenue, in San Anselmo.
