Bob:
Sorry to hear that you are not going to be able to make it to tomorrow’s
meeting. Thanks for the heads-up on “THE CAKEMAKER” being available through
Netflix. Our interest was pretty tenuous just knowing that it could be accessed
pretty cheaply through Prime Video. Now it’s a slam dunk as a goner.
Lots of people have expressed interest/intrigue about “THE SEER AND THE
UNSEEN.” There was a trailer for it with the WBUR article that Laurie
originally shared and I believe I had appended it to some of my mailings after
that. Let me know if you can’t find it and I will send it out again. The
trailer is very beautiful and certainly comes across as quite mystical.
Currently, the does not have US distribution. It is represented by a Sales
Representative called Submarine. Ken has usually wanted us to steer clear of
sales representatives that market the distribution rights of films and,
basically, act as middlemen between the production company and the actual
distributors that work with theaters and other outlets. I think it is his
experience that he tends to feel they demand high prices and are much more
difficult to negotiate with.
Pat:
Let us know if you are getting things through the listserve now. Thanks.

Thanks, Bob, for letting us know about The Cakemaker. Definitely one to scratch
of the list. Definitely agree with your assessment of The Seer and the Unseen.
One to screen, if we can.

Hello Joel and all,
My plans for this week have changed and will not be available for the Thursday
meeting.
Thanks, Laurie and Cliff for your brief thoughts on the list. Many of the films
you like are appealing to me as well. The Seer and the Unseen is very
interesting to me but not a lot to go on. The Icelandic release date was Oct 7,
2019. Maybe this will generate a trailer or more reviews.
Another note on a film from the list... The Cakemaker is currently available on
Netflix streaming :/
Cheers,
Bob
