1. Percolator Films is pleased to announce a new collaboration with Oakton Community College this Fall semester.  The Reel Treasures film and discussion course is offered through the college’s Emeritus Program and will feature four outstanding documentaries, including Chicago filmmaker June Finfer’s “Green Towns, USA: A New Deal” and Evanston filmmaker Bob Hercules’ “Forgiving Dr. Mengele.”  More info and how to enroll here:  Oakton Community College/Emeritus Program: Reel Treasures
   

1. Inspired by our annual Talking Pictures Festival, Percolator Films launches a new, itinerant film series:  The Talking Pictures Show.  We’re kicking off the series with the world music film Throw Down Your Heart, which will screen at Evanston’s Arts Depot (home of the Piccolo Theater).  More info here:  The Talking Pictures Show 

Percolator Films is a new 501c3 non-profit film organization that brings great documentaries and discussions to Evanston through the free REELTIME series and other programs like our new Talking Pictures Show.  We also organize The Talking Pictures Festival, an exciting new cultural event that draws audience members from the North Shore and beyond.  As a non-profit, we do all of this on a shoestring budget with much volunteer support.

But now we need YOUR help – our funders have all suffered budget cuts, which has drastically affected our already very slim budget.  We need your support to sustain REELTIME and the film festival.  Please give generously – your tax-deductible donation is an important investment in the cultural fabric of our community!
