Durham Invitational Film Festival
Durham Cinematheque is throwing a party to announce the upcoming Durham Invitational Film Festival. The DIFF Preview Party, hosted by cinematheque director Tom Whiteside, will be at The Durham Hotel on Sunday, February 16 from 3:00 to 5:00. This will be a casual social gathering with food and drink, plus on-screen teasers for the upcoming festival. Several of the festival participants will be on hand to present clips and bits. The Preview Party is a fund raiser, and we humbly ask for your support.

The Durham Invitational Film Festival will be a one-time-only non-competitive festival, held June 4 to 7, 2020 at Durham Fruit and Produce. Reflecting the wide-ranging eclectic fare that you know from previous Durham Cinematheque programs, the festival will offer a dynamic mix of documentary, experimental, and historically significant locally produced films. Surprises are to be expected.

For the Preview Party, filmmaker Kenny Dalsheimer will revisit his 2008 documentary "Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project." Director Carol Thomson will present clips from her 2016 documentary "The Rise and Fall of Liberty." Greg Dinkins, past president of the New York Stereoscopic Society, will be on hand to talk about "Stereoscopic Survey," his program about 3D photography in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. An announcement will be made about "Who Built This Town," a collaborative project featuring footage from films shot in Durham 1936 to 1948, to be presented in fresh cuts and screened with live music. For a taste of that, Louis Landry will be playing music for a silent film at the Preview Party. And speaking of taste, there will be food, wine, and beer courtesy of The Durham Hotel.

Tickets for this fund raiser are $25 and can be purchased here   https://www.eventbrite.com/e/diff-preview-party-tickets-90292757067?aff=ebdssbeac <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/diff-preview-party-tickets-90292757067?aff=ebdssbeac>   

Durham Cinematheque has been presenting unique film programs since 1991, and most of our programs have been free or very low cost. The Durham Invitational Film Festival is our biggest project ever, and we need your financial support to get this off the ground. Even if you can't join us for the Preview Party, let me know if you want to purchase tickets that I can pass on to someone else.

Get ready for DIFF - join us for the Preview Party on February 16!
