SUMMARY:Talkback Film\, Ripple
DESCRIPTION:RAAC presents a film and talk featuring Freeman Allan and Sharon Smith. The film\, Ripple\, is a 20-minute retrospective about a small group of the many back-to-the-landers who settled in Rappahannock County in the 1970’s. Freeman Allan and Sharon Smith were among those settlers. Titled from the well-known Grateful Dead song and centered around a memorial Thanksgiving dinner in 1973\, the film is a kind of “home movie” composed of archival photographs collected from this community and interviews that the filmmaker\, Sharon Smith\, conducted at a reunion held in 2003. Some of those featured in the film have passed on\, some are still residents of the area while others have “rippled” out into other locations\, taking the ethos of this seminal time period with them. Sharon now lives in NYC and after a career as a photographer and award-winning filmmaker\, now teaches Tai Chi and Quigong. Freeman\, now an author living in Charlottesville\, was instrumental in leading Rappahannock County arts initiatives in the ’70’s and early ’80’s\, including bringing movies to 291 Gay Street\, which was then called Gay Street Theatre. Please join us for an evening of reflection about Rappahannock County in the 1970’s. Admission is FREE. No reservations are needed.

SUMMARY:When Wire Was King: The Transformation of Telecommunications
DESCRIPTION:When Wire Was King is a documentary that puts the telecommunications revolution into historical context. Commerce\, technology\, entertainment\, travel\, health\, and all societal interaction are now so dependent on secure and reliable telecommunications that\, if the plug were pulled\, our nation and world would likely collapse. As our digital world grows increasingly complex\, it’s critically important for Americans to understand what drives\, threatens\, and governs the technology on which we all depend. \nWhen Wire Was King explores three interconnected themes – innovation\, competition\, and regulation – and the shifting balance among the three that sparked the telecommunications revolution\, beginning in the early 1970s. The liberalization of regulations and opening of the telecommunications market covering satellite\, cable\, wireless\, and telephony led to an explosion of innovation that brought us the Internet and wireless.  \nWhen Wire Was King is a visual journey through our telecommunications history\, using archival photos\, footage\, newscasts\, advertising\, and entertainment clips to transport viewers. The film captures the story of this revolution through the voices of key players still with us today – innovators\, economists\, policy makers\, industry executives\, and Congressional leaders. \nThe version shown at the Theatre will be a 55-minute film\, not the feature length film Here is the trailer: https://www.whenwirewasking.com/trailer.html \nThe event is free. It is co-sponsored by Rapp at Home. \n
