march 18, 2015: with the fabulous lia tarachansky here in rochester where her film “on the side of the road” was screened at the U of R last night and will be screened again today at school without walls and then at the islamic center of rochester at 7 pm (the event is open to the public). lia’s film was part of the witness palestine film series last year and she charmed everyone with her honesty and courage in a skype session with the audience afterwards. yesterday we checked out beale street cafe where we had po’ boys. then we almost froze to death when we walked around the high falls district. lia is studying film right now so she loved the george eastman house – excellent exhibits on the history of photography (one particular henri cartier-bresson photograph has to be seen to be believed) and on the advent of technicolor in film (those are the colors i want in my documentaries). always an honor and pleasure to finally connect with an activist friend in real life!
