Valentine Screening at Prospect Basement

Posted by ariel On February - 13 - 2009

Special Valentine’s Day Screening

Annie Hall (1977)

Time: 7:30pm Friday Feb 13
Place: Prospect Basement (NOT Paresky Theater)

Listen closely and you can actually hear the stress hormones pumping through the bodies of the characters in Annie Hall. Woody Allen’s real, funny ode to love among twitchy city dwellers scooped up Oscars for Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Actress (Diane Keaton) and Best Screenplay. And don’t miss cameos of not-yet-stars Jeff Goldblum, Shelley Duvall and Sigourney Weaver.

Purple Valley Films is offering live webcast

WANTED: Students for live sport webcasts

We are working with Sports Information to provide live webcasts for athletic events in Williams. This student-run service is considered as a campus job and you’ll be paid by Sports Information.

During a major athletic event, a production crew will typically consist of two camera operators and one technical director that manages the audio/video switchboard. Four to five people may be needed for one production, and they are rotated during half-time. Don’t worry if you know nothing about video cameras or video switchboards — we’ll provide the training.

Interested students should email Danny Y. Huang at yh1 [at] williams [dot] edu. Please include your name, class year, and phone number.

NOTE: You will not be paid if you meet any of the following criteria:

  • You are a freshman already with a campus job.
  • You are a freshman without a campus job and you do not receive Financial Aid.

Nonetheless, first-year students are always welcome to help out!
