I believe Bob’s iPhone should work. Will try my iPhone tomorrow and let you
know.

Alan et al.:
I don’t know if you have had any luck in seeing how your Mac does with this
particular link. However, I just got off the phone with Bob Stewart. He was
wondering if his iPhone would be able to interface with your Apple TV like a
Mac laptop? He’s willing to give it a try on Monday morning if you are. Right
now, that gives us four for Monday with some other folks yet to reply.
If you haven’t yet responded about being available for a group screening of
Ian Cheney’s film “THIRTEEN WAYS” on Monday, 10/14/19 at 10:00 am at Railroad
Square, it would be helpful to hear from you. Thanks.

Saturday morning or Monday morning/"THE IMMIGRANT"
Alan et al.:
I was pretty sure you wouldn’t see the cancellation until this morning and I
assumed that you probably hadn’t seen my e-mail with the link yesterday
either.
My laptop is a PC. I don’t know who might have a Mac. Anyone else? Is there a
way to test how it does with the Mac you have now? The film is fairly short
at 68 minutes. I’m just speculating, but could the source make a difference?
Could the origination points for the streaming have different levels of
power? Any tech whizzes (Clif) want to comment on this?
As far as Monday vs Saturday, it looks like Saturday probably isn’t going to
work. Still haven’t heard back from most of the team so Monday isn’t a sure
bet either.

Sorry, I didn’t see your email until this morning.
I can try to stream THIRTEEN WAYS from the office Mac but we’ve had problems
with it in the past as I’m sure you remember. It may be our internet
connection or it may be that computer. Does anyone have a Mac laptop they can
bring in that we can connect to our AppleTV or plug into the projector?
I’m won’t be here on Saturday but Monday morning works for me.

I have to admit defeat. In the face of heavy casualties, it seems prudent to
retreat from having a meeting tomorrow/Thursday, October 10th. I did get a
link from Ian Cheney for his film “THIRTEEN WAYS” and forwarded that to Alan
this afternoon asking if he could use it to set up a group screening for us
tomorrow. So far, I have not heard back. I will be sending out another list
with some updates and thoughts about how to address some of our films and I
will also send out the link for “THIRTEEN WAYS.”
I know this is pretty short notice and there is no guarantee that Alan will
be able to get something set up for us, but who might be able to attend a
screening on Saturday morning and/or Monday morning probably at 10:00 am.
Please let me know whether you have availability for either or both or
neither. That would be helpful.
I don’t think we could show “THE IMMIGRANT,” Abbott. It is a 2013 film which
showed at Railroad Square in 2014. It has some big stars with Marion
Cotillard, Jeremy Renner, and Joaquin Phoenix. I’m pretty sure it would have
been at the Square for at least a couple of weeks. I certainly would expect
a lot of the folks that we see regularly would have seen it then. It is also
available on Prime Video for $3.99.

Abbott here. Family visiting, and a crucial possibility that workmen will
finally be able to get here tomorrow means I'm likely to miss the meeting.
I'll just say again that I am a huge fan of Icelandic films. Despite best
intentions I have not gotten to even one trailer since last week. My input
is minimal, but I'll hope to return again. I remain the voice for "Let's put
up a great old film up on the big screen". Some piece that most people are
unaware of. There is a great article in a recent N Yorker on the life and
work of James Gray. High praise for his forgotten film "The Immigrant". I'd
never heard of it and would like to see what he made. Would I be alone in
that?
There's my likely input for tomorrow.
Regrets, A

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
