It’s official - the founding films and organizational records of New Day founders Liane Brandon, Jim Klein, Julia Reichert, and Amalie R. Rothschild will be preserved in the archive at Duke University! We are thrilled that they will have a permanent home -New Day Films Collection Comes to Duke: http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/documentaryarts/events/
from Duke:
Documenting a pioneering film distribution company and collective, the first to distribute feminist films in the early 1970s, the New Day Films Collection is an important record of both New Day’s formation and the Feminist Movement…. The Rubenstein is committed to preserving the New Day Films Collection for future generations to make this record of the evolution of progressive independent American filmmaking available for teaching and research.

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.

Dear Bandits,
I want to extend an invitation to each of you to attend any or all of the screenings that are scheduled for a special 40th Anniversary event that is to occur at SFState Universally this coming weekend. It is a class that will bring back to campus New Day members who graduated from SFSU - many, but not all, from the Cinema department. All the local Bay Area folks will be there for a Q&A.
The screenings will be in the Coppola Theater in the basement of the Fine Arts Building and
are without charge to New Day guests. This is a class and it is full (160 students) so kindly rsvp so we can make sure to accommodate anyone who would like to attend. Directions and campus maps are available on the SFSU website.
Hope to see some of you there and it would be helpful to have you rsvp - attendance only.
Pat

Greetings New Day Film-lovers!
PBS’s Independent Television Service (ITVS) is commemorating its 20th anniversary with a free online film festival featuring 20 compelling documentaries from July 25-September 23.
Two of them are New Day Films favorites: Johnny Symons’ “Daddy and Papa,” and Rick Goldsmith’s “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.”
We like to point out that New Day Films distributes more than three dozen ITVS-funded films… and that ITVS came about because of the pioneering work of independent filmmakers and visionary programmers. We’re proud to be part of that legacy and thrilled that ITVS is sharing some of this great work with audiences this summer.

By the way… what’s your favorite independent documentary film this summer? Leave us a comment and let us know~
