SUMMARY:Black Lodge's HALLOWEEN PANDEMONIUM FEST
DESCRIPTION:“It is happening again…it is happening again…” \nSeventeen years ago\, Black Lodge was born on Halloween\, opening only a couple of days before it. The year that followed succeeded beyond their wildest hopes or expectations. One year later\, they celebrated its success with a massive anniversary party on Halloween. And continued that tradition for 15 years to come. When the old Black Lodge closed to find a new home\, they held our biggest Halloween party to date. They decided it was to be their last\, until they were ready to return. \nThat time has finally come. As Lodge prepares its new home to open this New Year’s\, they invite you to join them in celebrating their return at Halloween Pandemonium. Their RE-birthday\, if you will. \nHosted by HEELS! \nPerforming live:\nDEVIL TRAIN\nJACK OBLIVIAN\nCHINESE CONNECTION DUB EMBASSY\nNOTS\nTHE 1970\nSHAMEFINGER\nKITTY DEARING \n$10 a person – all money goes to bands and performers \nFacebook invite

SUMMARY:Memphis Women in Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Quarterly event series presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts \n\nOctober topic: The Lost Garden: The Life and Cinema of Alice Guy-Blache — Film Screening & Panel Discussion\n\nThe Lost Garden looks at the life and times of Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968) — arguably\, the first narrative filmmaker in the world. Creating her first motion picture in France in the 1890s\, Alice Guy-Blaché went on to found her own successful production company in the US\, producing and writing more than 700 films. Clips from her films\, which were cleverly edited to illustrate events from her personal life\, are intercut with revealing excerpts from TV interviews with Guy-Blaché\, photographs\, reminiscences by family members\, and interviews with film historians. A fitting tribute to one of cinema’s most fearless pioneers\, produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Runtime: 53 minutes. \nNetworking at 6:30 p.m.; speaker presentation begins at 7:00 pm.\nComplimentary food and drink. \n\n\n\n\n\nMemphis Women in Film Social Links\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/memphiswomeninfilm/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/MEMwomeninfilm\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/memwomeninfilm/
