DESCRIPTION:Media Alliance is proud to sponsor the April 10th screening of three short 
 documentaries as part of the 7th Annual San Francisco International Women's 
 Film Festival. SFIWFF is one of the country’s foremost film festivals 
 dedicated to increasing awareness of the underrepresented voices of women 
 filmmakers, celebrating that work and bringing it to the attention of new 
 and wider audiences. \n\nOn April 10th, at 3 PM, the Roxie Theater in San 
 Francisco will host a screening entitled "Local Stories by Local 
 Filmmakers". Three films will be presented:\n\nEsther and Me (2010, 33 
 min.)\nA touching and humorous portrait of San Francisco Jewish nursing 
 home resident, Esther Weintraub. Through the use of interviews and archival 
 and contemporary photos, the film traces Esther's story over the course of 
 74 years, from age 15 as a professional violinist in a Canadian mandolin 
 orchestra to age 89 as a San Francisco nursing home resident. \n\nPositive 
 Negatives (2010, 35 min.)\nDavid Johnson, now 84 years old, was the first 
 African American student to study photography under Ansel Adams. But unlike 
 Ansel Adams, David Johnson found his landscape on the street where he 
 lived. He produced an invaluable collection of black and white images from 
 1946 to 1966 showing the social, political and private lives of Blacks 
 living in San Francisco's Fillmore District.  Several of his prints are 
 included in the Library of Congress and his name is etched in concrete at 
 the Fillmore Plaza in San Francisco. \n\nRaging Grannies (2009, 30 
 min.)\nIn ostrich feathers, crazy hats, and boas the Raging Grannies 
 protest all over the Bay Area with a sense of outrage, a sense of humor, 
 and a commitment to non-violence. They are women over 50, some as old as 
 90, who are enraged by the conditions under which some people are forced to 
 live, by threats to our environment, by war, and by injustice wherever they 
 find it. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/04/05/18676453.php
