DESCRIPTION:Invited Guest: Sonja Dahl Biberman  SALT OF THE EARTH - Saturday, May 1, 
 7:00   $10 / $8 Film Institute Members  Rarely screened publicly, this 
 remarkable drama represents the collaboration of blackballed union 
 activists with blacklisted Hollywood artists and writers.  Most of the 
 professionals involved in this production were blacklisted by Hollywood at 
 the time: director Herbert Biberman, producer Paul Jarrico, writer Michael 
 Wilson, composer Sol Kaplan and actor Will Geer.  With a story based on a 
 1950 strike in New Mexico, the film was eloquently well ahead of its time 
 in dealing with such issues as discrimination against Mexican-American 
 workers, racism and women’s rights.  The production was subject to 
 constant harassment by the FBI and other agencies, and it was suppressed in 
 its release, with the filmmakers unable to find more than a few theaters in 
 the US that would show it.  However, Salt of the Earth endures and remains 
 modern and relevant today,  Also with: Rosaura Revueltas, Juan Chacón.  
 (US 1953) 94 min.  Print courtesy of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.  
 We have invited Sonja Dahl Biberman, associate producer on the film, to 
 come share her memories and experiences.    \n
