Once upon a time, it was a grand event to go to the local movie theatre.    -Katherine Tallman   In this interview, we meet Katherine Tallman, a lifelong lover of cinema. She's the Executive Director & CEO of the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, Massachusetts,  one of America's most iconic movie theatres.  coolidge.org.  Originally built as a church in 1906, it was re-designed as an art deco movie palace in 1933 and after suffering hard times throughout the 1980s was purchased by a real estate magnate with a love for theatre who leased the building to the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation.  Today, the Coolidge Corner Theatre is a non-profit, independent cinema and cultural center and Katherine's mission has been to not only steward this much-loved landmark through the pandemic but to also assure a bright future for the theatre with a 12.5 million dollar expansion. Born and raised in Detroit, Katherine was one of 4 children in a blue-collar family where she was taught to be both responsible and hard-working.  In this interview, she recalls going to the movies every weekend with her friends, often choosing foreign films and independent films over more mainstream offerings.  As the first person in her family to go to college, she accepted her first job in Boston at a real estate investment firm and as she climbed the ladder in business, she discovered that she was often the only woman at the table.  After serving on the board of the Coolidge Theatre, she was tapped to become the executive director.   A true believer in doing what you love, Katherine says:  “I bring my A-game to everything I've ever done. I work with really smart people who have the same passion. Most of all,  I lead by example.  Having this job is like a fairy tale movie story.”

David Freyne, writer and director of “The Cured,” talks to Caitlin Malcuit about the filmmakers who influenced the film, researching PTSD, and his experience at the Toronto International Film Festival. To learn more about David Freyne, follow him on Twitter @david_freyne. Watch the trailer for “The Cured." Also, the movie is playing at Coolidge Corner Theatre on March 9 and March 10. Today's Friday Morning Coffee episode is sponsored by OneRoom.            

This week's episode starts with Dave fresh off of MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (6:30), which he saw as part of Coolidge Corner Theatre's series dedicated to Daniel Day-Lewis, "I'm Finished!" It's all over the place with a million plot threads and an impossibly large cast, but boasts a terrific grit and excellent performances. Next up is Kris, who just finished reading Boris Pasternak's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO and rewatched David Lean's adaptation starring Omar Sharif (21:17). Kris wishes he were more impressed with the film after reading the novel, but is he breaking his own rule of separating films from source material by lowering his opinion of a movie he enjoyed? Maybe, and he's the first to admit it. The episode then close things out with a recap of FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER (36:42), Angelina Jolie's film about life under the Khmer Rouge. The guys are split -- Dave and Kris enthusiastically in favor, with Evan on the fence as to whether it's a success in its own terms.

Program Manager at the Coolidge Corner Theatre co-hosts the show in Josh's absence to chat Evil Dead II and A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3.

On this week’s episode the guys ponder the strange variety of foods available in New York City diners before they dive into movies. Kris kicks everything off with his rundown of HACKSAW RIDGE (at 4:50), Mel Gibson’s World War II film about a conscientious objector who volunteers for military service. The first half has a delicate touch, while the second half is standard Mel Gibson, which Kris emphasizes with enthusiasm. Evan jumps in next to talk about The Boston Jewish Film Festival (at 26:57). He comments on four films playing there; two documentaries (DISTURBING THE PEACE and WOMEN IN SINK) and two narrative shorts (AND THEN, VIOLENCE, and JEWISH BLIND DATE). He discusses the things that each do well, and the reasons why they’re all worth watching. Dave and Kris close out by recapping the 16th Annual Halloween Horror Movie Marathon at the Coolidge Corner Theatre (at 41:40). They share brief reactions to the films they saw there, which include SCREAM, SCREAM 2, THE FOG, THE HOWLING, CREEPSHOW, and GHOST STORY.  

By Rob Hochschild June 23, 2014 The Berklee Silent Film Orchestra (BSFO) is dedicated to composing original scores for silent feature classics, and performing them live-to-picture. Under the leadership of faculty member Sheldon Mirowitz, the BSFO has written and performed new scores for several films, including ones by Buster Keaton and F.W. Murnau. The group will perform Harold Lloyd's Safety Last! twice this month, at the Nantucket Film Festival (June 24) and at the Martha's Vineyard Film Center (June 26). The recipient of a special commendation from the Boston Society of Film Critics, the BSFO has also performed at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, Massachusetts; in Boston’s Emerson/Cutler Majestic Theatre; and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

By Lesley Mahoney April 25, 2012 The Artist captured audiences and critics, earning it the Oscar for Best Picture and the distinction of bringing newfound attention to silent films. The Berklee Silent Film Orchestra has been carving a corner on that market, too. Under the direction of film scoring professor Sheldon Mirowitz, students compose original scores to classic silent movies and perform them live-to-picture on the big screen. The without-a-net element adds another layer to the communal movie-going experience. Each semester Mirowitz's class, Scoring Silent Films, takes on a new project. Students have composed and performed three silent scores: Sunrise (1927), It (1927), and Battleship Potemkin (1925). They debuted at Brookline's Coolidge Corner Theatre, which commissioned the works, and Berklee took Sergei Eisenstein's Potemkin on the road for a packed performance at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center. For Potemkin, five students each conducted the reel they composed, passing the baton between reels, and spotters ensured the music of the 10-piece orchestra matched up with the picture. The Kennedy Center audience was rapt with attention as the dramatic score punctuated the emotion in the tale of a 1905 mutiny aboard the Russian battleship when the sailors rebelled against their Tsarist leaders. While the score itself is remarkable, the synchronization to the film with such seamless precision is another feat altogether. "It's a really good score," Mirowitz said of Potemkin. "All three of our projects are legitimate scores." Next up is E.A. Dupont's Piccadilly starring Anna Mae Wong on May 7 at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline. Hear Mirowitz talk about the complexity of composing for and performing to silent film, and how Berklee students more than live up to the task.
