For a conversation on Telling America’s Stories, guests included Dr. Carla Hayden, the 16th Librarian of Congress. Dawn Porter, whose film Lady Bird Diaries had very positive feedback from its audience, and Tonia Davis, who brought the tale of Rustin to the screen, about Bayard Rustin, a gay black man who organized the March on Washington back in the early 1960s, participated, along with Michele Norris, author of the book Our Hidden Conversations: What Americans Really Think About Race and Identity. All agreed that making these films is not a fouror five-month project. It takes three to four years and you better love the subject matter.
From Page to Screen was an illuminating discussion about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin wrote the book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer 18 years ago. It won a Pulitzer Prize and was made for Netflix by Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions.
Through Their Own Lens: The Power of Ukrainian Narratives in Cinema was an extremely popular session. Speakers Max Nakonechnyi, Valeria Sochyvets, Katerina Gornostai ,Olha Beskhmelnytsina and Oleksandra Kostina went over their al-lotted time but no one minded, with the audience rising for an emotional standing ovation. A representative from the Ukrainian Embassy attended along with young new Ukranian directors, film makers, writers and producers. Clips were shown of their films, most focusing on the Russian invasion. Sadly, they said funds that normally go to support film and the arts is now all being funneled to the military.
