Concurrent Images Festival Programming

The evening programs of the 23rd Images Festival (April 1-10, 2010) that occur during the four days of the Congress were programmed with the themes of the daytime discussions in mind. Programs such as Tom Chomont’s restorations (presented by Ross Lipman from UCLA), Chamber of Public Secrets and Kevin Jerome Everson’s latest feature Erie have direct connections with presentations at the Congress. Your Congress pass gets you free entry to the Images Festival programs. Please arrive no later than 15 minutes before each presentation to get a seat! More info at www.imagesfestival.com.
