Sneak Preview of the Mostly British Film Festival--and a Touching Anecdote

Janet Tom, illustrating one of the many reasons that she was a recent winner of the I Love My Librarian Award, introduced Ruthe Stein and Maxine EInhorn Wednesday night at a sneak preview of the Mostly British Film Festival, which has movies from "all the countries we've colonized," London-born Maxine explained.





We saw trailers from the films you see projected on the screen--all from the UK except "Extra Ordinary" from Ireland, but Maxine told us about others including ones from New Zealand and Australia.

Today a friend told me that by chance she'd met a woman who'd just come from this sneak preview and was raving about the two presenters and how interesting the films seemed but couldn't attend because of the death of her mother and her own illness, so she gave the program to Erika, who says she's going to attend a couple of the films "in honor" of this woman who so generously shared her enthusiasm and her program.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
