My good friend Kim Chestney Harvey over at the Tech Council has sent notice of a cool event that she has been involved in putting together as part of the Three Rivers Film Festival. If you’re an aficionado of either art or technology, it sounds like a great event!
In a true marriage of art and technology, the Pittsburgh Technology Council joins forces with Pittsburgh Filmmakers to bring you Experimental Filmmaker, Ernie Gehr, one of the most celebrated and internationally recognized artists working in the medium of film. On the heels of his recent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Gehr brings his innovative audiovisual masterpieces to the Pittsburgh region. Join us during the 2008 Film Festival for this opportunity to network and learn how new technologies have affected both emerging and established artists working with the moving image.
Date: Thursday, November 13
5 – 6:15 pm: Networking & Cocktails
6:15 – 8 pm: Featured Speaker, Ernie Gehr
8 pm: Screening of Ernie Gehr’s Most Recent Shorts (Additonal fee of $8)
Venue: Melwood Screening Room, 477 Melwood Avenue, 15213
Cost: $30 for Tech Council embers, $35 for non-members
Register online, e-mail at events@pghtech.org, or by phone at 412.918.4229
The following week, on November 18th, there’s a roundtable event that’s free (but you still have to register!):
Join us for thoughtful insight from Mickey McManus, Maya Design; Jesse Schell, CMU Entertainment Technology Center and Dylan Vitone, CMU College of Fine Arts School of Design / Pittsburgh Filmmakers School of Film, Photography and Digital Media. Moderated by Audrey Russo, Pittsburgh Technology Council.
Thanks Kim!
