THE TRAVELING DIAMONDS
The finest student film work from Temple University
Creative Director and Middletown native Max Einhorn organized *The Traveling Diamonds* exhibition as a means to promote the finest student work from Temple University. The exhibition will screen roughly a dozen short works from various genres and approaches to filmmaking.
While working with numerous other film students from the university, the roadshow plans on booking several different venues starting in the Harrisburg area and working its way back to the Temple main campus, located in north Philadelphia.
The exhibition offers participants a chance to branch out beyond Philadelphia and aims to support the film and art scene in local communities, while offering the maximum amount of exposure possible for students.
Included on the bill: Einhorn’s *The Hysteric Dynamic* -- a re-invention of the 1938 panic over Orson Welles' radio play War of the Worlds; Julie Haberstick’s *Minding* -- the struggle of two young brothers staying with each other home alone; Dan Speers’ *Clara Te Foveo* -- a brutal love story about one man’s drive to hold on to his lover; and many others.
Since the roadshow simply wants to spotlight films and its future creators, admission to the event is free.
However, a suggested donation of $10 benefits the film students for future school film projects.
ScreeningS starts at 2 p.m. sharp. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to meet and mingle with the filmmakers. Seating is limited, and tickets are available at the door.
