OCTOBER 20, 2016 // 5 Continued from Pg. 4 and a score by Miklos Roz- attitudes inluence many issues, including work- place harassment, domestic violence, wage discrimina- tion, maternity leave, foster care and legal protections. Ultimately, the ilm offers an argument for why men and women should be ighting to get the Equal Rights Amend- ment passed, which passed both houses of Congress in 1972 but was never fully ratiied by the states. Following the screening, a discussion forum of the ilm will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Liberty Theater’s McTavish Room. “This won’t be so much pro and con as a matter of getting information out — . 5 about topics like sexual harassment, salary discrep- ancies and, of course, the Equal Rights Amendment,” says Craig. ‘The Killers’ 4 to 5:40 p.m. This 1946 ilm is classic noir directed by Robert Siodmak. It stars new- comer-at-the- time Burt Lancaster and sultry Ava Gardner as the voluptuous and deceitful Kitty Collins. The ilm boasts a script by an uncredited John Huston sa, part of which was lifted by television as the theme for “Dragnet.” Following the ilm, the festival will hold a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at RiverSea Gallery. The art exhibition “Shades of Noir” by artist Leslie Peterson-Sapp is based on images from clas- sic ilm noir — one painting in particular was derived from “The Killers.” Films about jazz A word about the jazz “thing” Craig’s got going on: Know that he is a huge jazz fan, and Miles Davis is his all-time favorite purvey- or of the genre. Over the last several years, Craig has been laying the groundwork for an inter- active jazz festival to take place the week right before the Astoria ilm festival. The new jazz festival is still in the works and planned to debut next year. Still, this year’s ilm festival goers can get a taste with two ilms on the schedule this weekend: the biopics “Born to be Blue” and “Miles Ahead” about seminal jazz trumpet players Chet Baker and Miles Davis respectively, sponsored by the Portland Jazz Festival. ‘Born to be Blue’ 7:30 to 9 p.m. In “Born to be Blue,” director Robert Budreau reimagines trumpeter and West Coast jazz scene pioneer Chet Baker’s hard- fought musical comeback in the 1960s. Ethan Hawke portrays Baker, who struggled to overcome drug addiction and recover from a savage beating in 1966, which broke his front teeth. ‘Miles Ahead’ 9:15 to 10:40 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 2:40 p.m. Sunday Don Cheadle produced, co-wrote, directed and stars as Miles Davis in “Miles Ahead,” an exploration into the life of jazz musician Da- vis. The ilm, whose score includes covers of Davis’ recordings, skips around in time, depicting Davis’ attempts to get his career back on track following a period of inactivity and drug addiction in the 1970s. Also starring Emayatzy Corine- aldi and Ewan McGregor, the ilm takes its title from Davis’ 1957 album of the same title. SUNDAY, OCT. 23 Start off the day from 11:30 a.m. to noon with coffee and croissants in the lobby of the Liberty before the next batch of ilms are screened. ‘Unbroken Ground’ Noon to 12:30 p.m. A 25-minute ilm, “Un- broken Ground” explores how food choices are connected to climate change and how changes in current agriculture and production practices can offer solutions. Directed by Chris Malloy of Farm League, this ilm by Patagonia Provisions tells the story of four groups lead- ing the way with regenera- tive agriculture, restorative grazing, diversiied crop de- velopment and selective-har- vest ishing. Admission to this ilm is free. ‘The Best Man’ 3:30 to 5:15 p.m. Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner with a screenplay by Gore Vidal, the 1964 ilm “The Best Man” boasts a stellar cast that includes Henry Fonda and Frederick March. It’s the timely tale of two front-runners for their party’s Presidential nomi- nation, one principled and the other ruthless, as they vie for the ex-President’s endorsement. In view of the current Presidential race, this is, without doubt a great pick. S EARCHING FOR I NNER P EACE ? Come meet with us...
