Description

Friday Films is a series of film screenings at University Branch Library on Friday afternoons.  In January we’re screening Presenting Princess Shaw.

Released in 2015, Presenting Princess Shaw is the extraordinary story of an aspiring musician, down on her luck, who inspired internationally famous musician, composer, and video artist Ophir "Kutiman" Kutiel to create a magical collaboration that would introduce her talent to a whole new audience. The film was nominated for the 2017 Critics' Choice Award for Best Music Documentary. It is a co-presentation with the National Black Programming Consortium (NBPC). Written and directed by Ido Haar, this film is not rated.

The documentary will be followed by a discussion at approximately 2:25 pm. The discussion will explore topics such as copyright, creativity, fame, multimedia art, music, open source, perseverance, and privacy. This event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent nonfiction film series on PBS  (www.pbs.org/pov).
