Join author Eric Friedmann on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Great Neck Library community room, 159 Bayview Ave., Great Neck, as he journeys through the movies during the nine-year period of 1983 to 1991.
While he and the rest of the world embraced blockbuster motion pictures like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Top Gun, Die Hard, Batman, and Terminator 2, it was also alternative films like A Passage to India, Blue Velvet, Platoon, Do the Right Thing, and Cinema Paradiso that captured his attention and continued to impact his youth, while shaping a deeper and more meaningful insight into the possibilities of cinema.
Eric’s personal story about the movies is told with great memory and affection, for those who still remember a time when movies continued to change, grow, and evolve into deep-rooted memories for all of us who loved sitting in front of the big screen and waiting for the magic to unfold.
Eric Friedmann is the author of It’s Strictly Personal and It’s Still Strictly Personal, both of which will be available for purchase and signing at this event. Check out his interview from Aug. 16 on 4VS’ The Author Corner: https://4vs.org/4VS-WatchNowPage3-TheAuthorCorner-38.php
