Today we saw two shows that a reception in-between
The first were the shorts - the theme was "change". There were about fifteen shorts - some animation and others not. Several were the finalists of Oscar shorts.
The second film (after the reception at the 215) was "aka. Doc Pomus" about the composer of much of Elvis Presley's music and others , many songs we hum and know about but had no idea who wrote them. He was a white Jewish kid that sang blues and changed his name so his parents would not know it was him. he had polio at a young age and walked with crunches. Later as an adult he fell and was in a wheel chair after that. A great story and a movie well worth seeing. look him up on wiki to learn more and see all he wrote.
Only sorry we were not able to see more films - the festival is really a treasure for the area and oh so many movies.
