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.
