Sat Jun 29 15:33:33 UTC 2013

Hi friends!

If you're in the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area, we'll be screening Big Joy
at the Walker Art Center on August 22 FOR FREE, preceded also by a new
print of Broughton's *The Bed *(1968, 16mm, 20 minutes). More info about
the screening here<http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/2013/big-joy-the-adventures-of-james-broughton>
.

Also on August 22, in conjunction with the
screening<http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/2013/socialbrief-_big-joy>
:
"Express your hedonism in 20 seconds or less! In celebration of the film *Big
Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton*, join some blissed-out writers in
the Garden Café and compose short poetic snippets that relish all that’s
good about life, love, sex, summer, and more. Don’t worry, our featured
writers will help you fit your boundless glee into a small package. A bit
later, you could be invited to read your brief reflection on the Walker
Cinema stage before the screening. Copresented by *Rain Taxi Review of Books
*."

Should be a blast!!!

Best,
Anna Swanson
