SUMMARY:CoSA Dance and Digital Arts Bring “Envision” to the Stage
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how a choreographer brings an idea to life in movement? The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Dance Conservatory\, in partnership with the Digital Arts Conservatory\, will showcase Envision–an exciting evening of dance and filmmaking at the Coronado Performing Arts Center on Friday\, May 16 and Saturday May 17 at 7pm. \nTickets are on sale at CoSASanDiego.com and at this link. \nThe evening of original dances offers a behind-the-scenes peek of our dancemakers and their creative processes by CoSA Digital Arts Film students. The event also features solo performances from the five graduating seniors. \n“In Envision\, CoSA Dance invites audiences to peek behind the curtain and witness how dances are made from concept to concert\,” said Gina Bolles Sorensen\, conservatory chair. Three filmmakers have stepped into the studio to witness CoSA dancemakers in the creative process\, according to Sorensen. The event features documentary films threaded throughout the program to share insights about how dances are made\, complete with interviews with the choreographers and footage of the rehearsal process. One highlight in the program is ‘The Point of Vanishing\,’ a nine-minute dance for the full ensemble\, directed by Sorensen. \n“The thing about dance is that it’s here and gone\,” said Sorensen. “A dance is never performed or seen the same way twice. We work in an artform that is always in a state of vanishing.” \nIn addition to dances by seven CoSA Dance faculty\, the program features dances by eleven student choreographers. \n\n

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film Series "The Best Years of Our Lives"
DESCRIPTION:The Best Years of Our Lives – “I don’t care if the film doesn’t make a nickel. I just want every man\, woman\, and child in America to see it.”  \nThis is a special Memorial Day screening. It is FREE and open to the entire community. Bring the entire family! \n“I don’t care if the film doesn’t make a nickel. I just want every man\, woman\, and child in America to see it.” Thus spoke MGM Studio head Samuel Goldwyn in 1946 as this masterpiece he produced was released. This first post-war feature film from legendary director William Wyler went on to win a then unprecedented seven Oscars\, including Best Picture and Best Director. It was honored with an additional special Oscar for disabled vet Harold Russell’s performance as Petty Officer Home Parish for ”bringing aid and comfort to disabled veterans through the medium of motion pictures.” \nAfter the attack on Pearl Harbor\, even though Oscar winning director William Wyler was 40 years old and exempt from the draft\, he volunteered and served with distinction in the US Army Air Forces. Discharged as a LtCol in 1945\, Wyler’s time with the 8th Air Force left him permanently hearing impaired and uncertain of his prospects to return to his career directing movies in Hollywood. Of his wartime experience Wyler observed\, “The only thing that mattered was human relationships … relationships with people who might be dead tomorrow were important.” Returning home to Los Angeles\, he searched for the right story to tell in his return to the director’s chair. After Wyler read McKinlay Kantor’s Glory for Me\, a story of challenges faced by war veterans coming home\, he told MGM Studio Boss Sam Goldwyn\, “This is what I want to make.” \nThe Best Years of Our Lives tells the story of veterans returning from war more movingly\, hopefully and beautifully than any other motion picture in Hollywood history. The film captured the atmosphere of post-WWII America. Its enormous critical and commercial success confirmed this was THE story post-war audiences needed to see in the wake of the deadliest and most destructive conflict in human history; the story of the war’s impact on returning veterans and its impact on their relationship with home and family. \nDo not miss this perfect Memorial Day “table setter.” CIFF’s FREE screening of The Best Years of Our Lives will be presented Sunday\, May 25 at 1 pm in the Library’s Winn Room. Bring your family and invite your friends to share this beautiful Oscar winning classic.
