pots of white mums ("popcorn") placed
inside huge popcorn boxes surrounded
by strips of film. After some speeches
and presentations, everyone regrouped
at the United Artists Theatre in
Commerce Township for the evening's
showing of The Assistant, an adaptation
of Bernard Malarnud's Pulitzer Prize-
winning book.
Reminiscent of last year's festival,
when 50 percent of the showings
sold out, so many wanted to see
The Assistant that another auditori-
um was added for the overflow.
Introduced at the patron event were
the Film's producer, Daniel Petrie,
and also Murray Glass, program
creator of Shtick, Shmaltz and
Shtereotypes, shown earlier that day,
and director/producer/writer Eric
Trules, whose The Poet and the Con
was on Monday's schedule. A spe-
cial part of this second annual festi-
val, noted chairman David
Magidson, "is having so many of
the directors and writers present to
answer audience questions about
their films."
