ON THE COVER:

NEW ALBANY — The Carnegie

Center for Art and History, 201 E.

Spring St., New Albany, will host

Mark Wourms, executive director of

Bernheim Arboretum and Research

Forest, in the program “Held in Trust:

A Legacy of Protected Land,” as part

of the Carnegie Center’s Lunch &

Learn series, noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday,

March 15.

Through this visually-rich pre-

sentation, Wourms will explore the

legacy of Isaac Wolfe Bernheim and

his belief in the restorative power

of nature, and how Bernheim’s mis-

sion of “Connecting People with

Nature” is influenced by that legacy. Bernheim’s numerous and creative

approaches to wildlife conservation,

land protection, ecological science

and the celebration of the joy of

nature, both at Bernheim Forest and

throughout the region, makes it one

of the regional leaders in ecological

stewardship and a popular destination

for hundreds of thousands of visitors

each year.

The Carnegie Center’s current art

exhibit, “Bernheim: A Natural Muse,”

is presented in partnership with Bern-

heim Arboretum and Research Forest

and celebrates 35 years of Bernheim’s

artist in residence program. “Bern-

heim: A Natural Muse” is on display

through April 9. Participants can

bring a lunch, drinks are provided.

This program is free, but registration

is requested by calling 812-944-7336

or emailing Delesha Thomas at dtho-

[email protected].

The monthly Lunch and Learn pro-

grams are sponsored by the Carnegie

Center, Inc.

If you like movies with a conscience, Sunday’s

Grand Film Festival is right down your alley.

In the third iteration of the event, this

year’s lineup has an educational angle with panel

discussions following each viewing. You can

learn about issues ranging from the Holocaust to

using drones in filmmaking.All right here in SoIn.

The festival, staged by the Arts Council of

Southern Indiana, is an immersive experience

informed by national trends.

“Film is used in museums and tourism centers more and

more now,” Julie Schweitzer, director of the arts council,

told Jenna Esarey for today’s cover story. “There are dif-

ferent avenues for filmmakers. It’s not all about making feature films. With this festival you’re seeing these differ-ent contexts. It’s going to give these different aspects of

how film works.”The Grand’s films from five local filmmak-

ers range from short films — one clocks in at three minutes — to full-length features.

Times have changed when it comes to movie-

making, according to Schweitzer. It used to be

that such ventures required studio-backing. With

social media and advances in technology, now it

just takes eyeballs to view the works of art.

Sunday is your chance in Southern Indiana.

“If there’s an audience to support it, local

theaters will show independent films,” Schweitzer told Esarey.

That’s a wrap.

NEW ALBANY — Focusing on educational and so-cially relevant films, the Grand Film Festival makes its third appearance this weekend.

Under the auspices of the Arts Council of Southern Indiana the festival welcomes five local filmmakers with films ranging from short form to feature length.

“This year we really turned it into an invitational and added an educational component to it,” said Julie Schweitzer, director of the Arts Council.

Addressing a wide range of themes, the five films run from three to 75 minutes in length. Each is followed by a brief panel discussion on a related topic.

“It’s a different way of looking at film,” Schweitzer said. “Film is used in museums and tourism centers more and more now. There are different avenues for filmmakers. It’s not all about making feature films. With this festival you’re seeing these different contexts. It’s going to give these different aspects of how film works.”

By JENNA [email protected]

Panel discussions follow Grand Film Festival featuresIvy Tech and Indiana University Southeast are both

incorporating video production of all sorts into their programs.

“Supporting these programs and highlighting that we have filmmakers here is important,” Schweitzer said.

“We invited local filmmakers who don’t get recog-nized in there own home area. It used to be you couldn’t make a film without a studio behind it. That’s not how it is now. Now it’s more about distribution. If there’s an audience to support it, local theaters will show indepen-dent films.”

INDEPENDENT INTERESTSchweitzer said that interest in locally made indepen-

dent films is growing, but many local filmmakers still feel the need to relocate to do the work they want to do.

“It’s just sad when you have to leave to make a living at what you do. It’s important for our community to support these artists.”

Beau Kaelin is a biology teacher in Bullitt County, Ky.

“He taught himself Mandarin and went to China on his own and filmed this beautiful, epic movie,” Sch-weitzer said. “He’s going to talk about cinematography

apart from special effects.”His film, “Kora” — a Tibetan Buddhist term for a pil-

grimage — combines images from Chinese and Tibetan culture with electronic music.

Even closer to home, Tom Whitus frequently works in Los Angeles, but lives in New Albany’s Silver Hills neighborhood and is a longtime freelance sportswriter for The Courier-Journal.

Whitus is self-taught, running Silver Hill Pictures from his home but traveling wherever necessary for filming with a tiny crew of around four or five.

His film, “Greenhorn,” is adapted from the book of the same name by Anna Olswanger and tells the true story of an 11-year-old Holocaust survivor who arrives in Brooklyn in 1946.

“It’s a very important story and I want people to know it,” he said.

The film runs 25 minutes.“I’m trying to put together a feature-length script

based on the book, but that’s an arduous process,” he said. “I’ve been making films for 18 years and it took me a while to figure out how to write a script, I’ll tell you that.”

He shot the bulk of the film in New York City, with a few pieces filmed in Louisville. “Greenhorn” won the Audience Award at the 2015 Memphis International Jewish Film Festival.

“The film is beautiful,” Schweitzer said. “I think people, especially our young people, forget that the Holocaust happened. But the film is broader. It touches on bullying which everyone can relate to.”

A LOCAL ANGLE“Lewis and Clark at the Falls of the Ohio” is part of

an exhibit on the pair at the Falls of the Ohio State Park Interpretive Center in Clarksville. Created by Bryan Miller, media exhibit producer for Louisville-based museum installation specialists Solid Light, it tells the story of the 1803 journey to search for a land route to the Pacific Ocean.

The shortest film in the bunch, “BBQ, Blues & Bikes: Elizabethtown Tourism” logs in at a tidy three minutes. Couch Picture Productions Media Specialist Kenny Rambo used drones to film parts of the promotional film.

The panel discussion following his film will focus on the use of drones in promotional filmmaking, community and economic development, and the FAA regulations on the commercial use of drone technology.

A documentary on the realities faced by the homeless, “Under the Bridge: The Criminalization of Homeless-ness” chronicles one summer in an Indianapolis tent city with a man named Maurice.

Filmmaker Don Sawyer lobbied the Indianapolis City Council to pass a homeless bill of rights, making India-napolis the first city in the country to do so. Joining him for the panel discussion will be local homeless advocate Barbara Anderson.

Schweitzer is proud of the films the festival has spot-lighted over the years and the filmmakers involved, some of whom are already finding their place in the national spotlight.

“Greenhorn” has aired on KET public TV in Kentucky and is being screened at World Con in Los Angeles March 27, and one of 2014’s filmmakers is in talks with Pixar.

“Kora” provides an extraordinary journey — an exodus of the senses and the mind. The film combines images from Chinese and Tibetan culture, along with other sights and landscapes from those environs, with electronic music.

LOUISVILLE — A new fast-casual Vietnamese restaurant is coming to Louisville. Pho Ba Luu will open in the soon-to-be-renovated Butcherblock Properties, located at 1009-1019 E. Main St., sometime this summer, according to a news release. The nine-building complex that anchors the crossing where Wenzel, East Main, and East Washington streets all intersect in Butchertown is the perfect space for the 2,200-square-foot modern eatery.

The menu will include Vietnam-ese staples like chicken or beef pho and several varieties of banh mi, plus imperial rolls, spring rolls, vermicelli bowls with the choice

of a protein, and a few other entree options like chicken curry with coconut milk rice bowls and shaken beef rice bowls. All of the dishes, including entrees, fresh bread, and desserts, will be made in house. Beer, both draft and bottles, and wine will also be offered.

The concept has been a dream for several of the partners for more than a year now. It has just been within the last six months that Mimi Ha and Jessica Mach have been able to bring their culinary dream to reality as the perfect location became avail-able and the perfect developer was added to the team.

Ha is also managing partner of August Moon and is a partner con-sultant of Pho Ba Luu.

“I’ve been blessed to be part of August Moon for over 25 years,” she said. “It’s so exiting to now collabo-rate with Jessica on the food of my childhood with our new venture to-gether. We have had so much fun the past several months fully developing the Pho Ba Luu concept.”
