Hello, Hello
I just wanted tosay Hi, having joined last night after having heard about the board form ChiO.
Just to let you know, I have been teaching film history and appreciation classes at Facets Multimedia in Chicago for 10 years. Some of the classes have included: "The late films of Billy Wilder" "Written by Preston Sturges", "The Westerns of Jacques Tourneur" and currently "WWII films of Powell and Pressburger"
As I have been perusing the boards this morning and last night I am really impressed by the enthusiasm and erudition of the postings and look forward to reading and discussing more.

Hey, brandon; welcome aboard!
Jump right in; the water's cozy, and suits are optional!
As I pointed out recently to another of our newer members (stuart.uk), you'll find, among many other "fan clubs" hereon, quite a dedicated little coterie of Powell & Pressburger devotees peppered throughout our ranks!

He teaches me about film and I taught him how to use "erudition" in a sentence. Fair trade.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, Brandon.

How great to see that Facets is still happening. I lived in Chicagoland about 20 years ago and used to attend screenings at Facets. I think it was on Fullerton, no? I hope you'll keep us updated on what's going on with Facets, and repertory houses in Chicago. Is the Music Box still playing classic films?
Welcome!
If you ever play a Rossellini Film Festival; I'm soooo there. I've never even seen his most famous Stromboli, Paisà, or Roma, Città Aperta on the big screen. What a treat that would be!
