Laemmle at the Ojai Film Festival

by

Join us at The Ojai Film Festival starting November 7 and running through the 14th as we present the fantastic, award-winning Israeli film FILL THE VOID from RAMA BURSHTEIN.

The always-compelling festival situated in the charming, artistic enclave of Ojai, CA features independent narrative features and shorts, documentaries and animation from around the world. There will also be workshops for actors on audition technique; one for make-up artists; another for screenwriters on pitching scripts; and a half-day educational program for high school students.

Laemmle Theatres President GREG LAEMMLE is a long-time fan of the festival. He will be on-hand November 9 to present a special Saturday night, 8pm prime-time screening of FILL THE VOID.

“Ojai is a hidden gem of Southern California,” he says, “and we love what they are doing. I try to find a film that fits the program and where it’s possible to bring in the film’s creative  team.”

GOD LOVES UGANDA Director on MSNBC: “Meet Roger Ross Williams, exposing America’s exported intolerance” + Q and A’s at the Royal

by

For hundreds of years, Africans suffered terribly from European colonialism and are, of course, still dealing with the consequences. So it is deeply troubling to learn from the documentary GOD LOVES UGANDA that some U.S. citizens — religious zealots — are perpetuating that tragic legacy with missionary work that leads to violent homophobia. The Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams was recently interviewed on MSNBC to talk about his important new movie. You can also meet him at the Royal this weekend. Here is the Q&A schedule:

Friday // 530pm – Q&A with director Roger Ross Williams and special guest, Los Angeles World Affairs Council President Terry McCarthy

Friday // 750pm – Q&A with director Roger Ross Williams

Saturday // 310pm       – Q&A with director Roger Ross Williams and special guest

Saturday // 530pm – Q&A with director Roger Ross Williams and special guest Chris Freeman, ONE Archives

Saturday // 750pm       Q&A with director Roger Ross Williams and special guest  Samantha Curley, founder and executive co-director of Level Ground
