DOCUMENTARY SCREENING OF "THESE AMAZING SHADOWS"

This documentary is a 2011 Official Selection of the Sundance Film Festival, which shows how films like Casablanca, Blazing Saddles, and West Side Story have been deemed "culturally, and historically significant," by the Library of Congress and listed on the National Film Registry.   This film explores how movies are selected for the Registry, and ultimately preserved for future generations to enjoy.  This event is appropriate for the entire family. 

 Join us for the film and stay after for a Q & A with Co-Director, Paul Mariano.  He is a Martinez resident who practiced as a criminal defense attorney in the Contra Costa County Public Defender’s Office for 27 years.  Learn how this retired attorney became a film maker.  You may contact him for more information and for interviews at (925) 639-1705.
