ESTHER WILLIAMS: BATHING BEAUTY
In the decade following World War II, the young swimmer (and Olympics hopeful) Esther Williams was featured in a series of films at MGM. These films incorporated spectacular water ballets choreographed by some of Hollywood’s best, filmed in a special water tank built specially for her films. Graceful, poised, and funny, Williams became an icon of post-war America.
Neptune’s Daughter (1949)
Directed by Edward Buzzell, 95 minutes.
The polo team’s in town and so is the fun for Esther Williams, Ricardo Montalban, Red Skelton, and Betty Garrett. Eve Barrett (Williams) designs bathing suits in a stunning MiMo office, while being wooed by both Montalban and Skelton (who engages in some of his best physical comedy!) Neptune’s Daughter includes songs by Frank Loesser and one of Esther’s greatest splash-happy finales. 1949 Academy Award winner for Best Song for Baby, It’s Cold Outside. Free admission.

With Joanne Woodward, Nell Potts (Elinor Newman), Roberta Wallach Buy Tickets Online
“Life’s been a real bitch to Beatrice Hunsdorfer. And vice versa.â€
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Paul Zindel, this is another critically acclaimed joint effort of husband and wife team Newman and Woodward. Produced and directed by Newman, Woodward portrays the eccentric young widow who is raising her two disparate daughters in an atmosphere of bitterness, hatred and over-protection that threatens their very growth and development. The title of the movie reflects the mothers’ anger at her daughter’s science teacher, when her daughter’s experiment shows how radiation kills marigolds, but sometimes causes them to grow more beautiful. This experiment becomes a metaphor for her own life, as she struggles to bloom in a household deadened by her mother’s alcoholism and her sister’s lethargy.

State of the Union explores interdisciplinary art, addresses social and political concerns, and delves into traditional and experimental concepts in art. Margarita Benitez’s Jacquard weavings tie traditional and contemporary movements together by blending high and low technologies. Utilizing the old skill of weaving in combination with the binary frameset of the Jacquard looms and collecting subject matter from frozen video images at 1/30th of a second addresses several aspects of interdisciplinary technologies by reviewing media’s daily bombardment. Benitez introduces a social and political aspect as well intersected by her selection of media stills. The truth of the imagery allows the audience to contemplate the message the media is feeding the populous.

FREE FILM SCREENINGS: MIAMI NOIR: THE ARTHUR E. TEELE STORY (2008, USA, 60 min) AND MILIA (2008, USA, 15 min)—Join filmmakers Sam Rega, Joshua Miller, and Jorge Valdes-Iga for the screenings of Miami Noir: The Arthur E. Teele Story and Milia. Miami Noir is a documentary that examines the events that led up to the suicide of Miami City Commissioner Arthur Teele, Jr. in the lobby of the Miami Herald newspaper building on July 27, 2005. This film blends interviews with dramatizations to portray one of Miami’s most controversial, political, and human interest stories.
In Milia, Nathaniel, a New York fashion photographer, stumbles upon the headshot of Milia, a model who strongly reminds him of a past love. Intrigued, Nathaniel books Milia for test shots, only to realize that she is his daughter. Unaware of this, Milia finds herself falling in love with her father. Both films are free and open to the public and followed by an engaging Q + A session with the filmmakers.
