LOUIS- KDHX TV and Landmark's Tivoli Theatre have teamed to sponsor
a benefit to help the staff and volunteers of community and public
radio stations in hurricane disaster areas rebuild and get back
on the air.
On Thursday, September 22nd beginning at 9 PM, patrons will view
an entertaining selection of films produced during this year's
48-Hour Film Project. The creators of the 48-Hour Film Project
have produced a traveling showcase of films that were produced
in 32 cities during the past summer. Admission to the film showcase
is $8.
"Many of the folks who work in public and community broadcasting
in the gulf region are without homes, personal belongings and
many of the resources we routinely take for granted. This is our
way of trying to help them get through these trying times and
let them know that we care about their plight," said Bev
Hacker, Executive Director of KDHX.
The 48-Hour Film Project challenges filmmaking teams to write,
edit, act and shoot a movie...all in just 48 hours.
"Following the St. Louis competition, films were screened
at the Pageant before packed audiences on two nights. We anticipate
film buffs will take this opportunity to see some of the nationally
produced films and assist our public broadcasting colleagues,"
said Doug Whyte, Film and Media Arts Director for KDHX.
KDHX TV and the Tivoli Theatre will donate 100 percent of the
proceeds to a hurricane relief fund for public broadcasting staff
members and their families.
