Tomorrow, director Lance Hammer will be screening his new film Ballast.  WACTAC and filmmakers that particpated in last weekend’s All City Youth Film Showcase will get the special opportunity of meeting and talking with him – we are totally excited! There will be a public screening on Wednesday at 7:30 PM at the Walker.

Another upcoming film event that we are looking forward to is a screening of I’m Not There. The film revolves around the life of Bob Dylan and consists of an all star line up – Cate Blanchett, in an Academy-Award nominated performance, and Christian Bale, Richard Gere, and the recently deceased Heath Ledger. If you needed more reason to go, the film will be accompanied by legendary rock critic Greil Marcus! Marcus is the author of Lipstick Traces (a book that traces the interesction of pop culture and high art through the lens of the Sex Pistols) and Mystery Train (brilliant study of rock’n'roll and American culture).
