New Day’s 40th Celebrated at Full Frame Festival, Durham, NC
The Full Frame Film Festival is celebrating… us! This acclaimed festival is honoring New Days’ 40th anniversary by featuring the founders’ early films. The four founders - Amalie R. Rothschild, Jim Klein, Julia Reichert and Liane Brandon - will be there for a Q & A and to participate in a panel discussing the history and legacy of New Day.
The screening is on April 13th, the panel is on the 14th.
Full Frame will honor the 40th anniversary of New Day Films, a groundbreaking distribution company democratically operated by over 100 filmmakers. The festival will exhibit New Day Film’s very first titles, directed by the founding members, which were recently archived at the Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Duke University. The four films will screen as one program: Liane Brandon’s “Anything You Want to Be” and “Betty Tells Her Story,” Jim Klein and Julia Reichert’s “Growing Up Female,” and Amalie R. Rothschild’s “It Happens to Us.” A separate panel conversation around New Day Film’s history and legacy will also take place at the festival.
