The Prohibition Era in South Florida presented by Eliot Kleinberg
The Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade welcome Eliot Kleinberg, speaking on the real battle between gangsters and law enforcement during the mostly failed effort to enforce Prohibition in South Florida; it's the theme of Eliot's latest "Adventures of Nate Moran" novel, Hypocrite's Row. Prohibition once was the law in America. But in the South Florida of the 1920s, it was a joke. There was an open coastline just a few hours' boat ride from the British docks in the Bahamas, and wealthy society swells and tourists would pay handsomely for a drink. The suppliers became folk heroes and the lawman the villain. Miami police detective Nate Moran's colleague is murdered by a rumrunner who later walks on a technicality. Nate helps bring to justice a high-seas pirate and murderer in Fort Lauderdale and helps bust up a notorious gang of local moonshiners, rumrunners, and robbers. And he must solve a murder in a secret room of a Palm Beach hotel where the rich and entitled can drink: Hypocrite’s Row. Get details online. |

The Man Who Fell To Earth
4K Restoration on 50th Anniversary
Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) crashes to Earth and immediately registers a series of world-changing patents in an effort to return to his parched planet and dying family. But will the authorities let him go? David Bowie’s first film as an actor turned out to be his finest, which is why we remember one of the most prolific artists of our time with a 50th anniversary screening of The Man Who Fell To Earth, Nicolas Roeg’s cult film about an extraterrestrial who crash lands on Earth seeking a way to ship water to his planet, which is suffering from a severe drought. Almost completely dismissed when originally released, today it’s easy to see its outstanding virtues as a groundbreaking sci-fi film and to deem Roeg’s telling as timeless. It was also enduring for Bowie, who culled material from the source novel for his last major theatrical piece, Lazarus (2015). The restoration is based on a 4K scan of the original camera negative, followed by a full 4K workflow, with the approval of cinematographer Anthony Richmond. Get details online. |
