CENTURY CENTER CINEMA
Expect foreign classics, silent features and independent films to be shown throughout the series. Curator - Nic Beery
Mellodrama (2008)
Music Documentary Dianna Dilworth Plus, The World Premiere of Melting of the Globe (2009) Music Documentary Short "Mellodrama" explores the rising and falling fortunes of the Mellotron-the first musical keyboard to sample the sounds of other instruments from its birth in a California garage in the 1950s, through its dominance on concert stages in the 1970s, through its almost religious cult of followers in the 2000s. Through the music of the Beatles, the Zombies, and the Moody Blues, the Mellotron became the "instant magic sound." "Melting of the Globe" follows Orange County musician Jay Manley and Fretted instrument maker Wes Lambe as they design and build a new 21 string guitar that features the best of an electric guitar and a sitar. Jay discusses how his environment inspired this instrument. 5170

Persepolis
A fascinating and wholly unexpected take on Iran's Islamic revolution beginning in the 1970s, Persepolis is an enthralling, animated feature about a spirited young woman who spends her life trying to deal with the consequences of her nation's history. An unique window onto a crucial chapter of 20th century history, Persepolis is graphically engaging with its black-and-white, bold lines and feeling of repressed energy, fit to burst. The emotional content is so strong that after awhile, one almost forgets the film is a cartoon. Satrapi co-wrote the screenplay and co-directed the film along with animator Vincent Paronnaud 6010

COMMUNITY BOOK FORUM
The Soloist by Steve Lopez This event is part of Orange County's Partnership to End Homelessness community read of The Soloist which was released as a movie starring Jaime Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr. over the summer. It is the true story of a homeless man who once was a student at Julliard but could not stand the pressures of being one of a few African-American students and also battling schizophrenia. He dropped out and took to playing his violin on the street where an LA Times reporter discovered him and fought to get him back on track. A panel of experts in the areas of mental health and homelessness will lead the discussion. We welcome all members of our community, including the homeless, to attend the discussion and share your thoughts, questions, and insights on this story and ways to end homelessness in our community.
