“Dave Hill (is) full of unjustified bravado, but also amazingly vulnerable.” (Ira Glass). The hubristic yet tender memoirist, raconteur and rock star invites you to partake in conversation (free!) and waffles (those will cost you) at the venerable breakfast joint Cafe Berlin, which for one night only will swing open its doors at 1am and stay cooking til the hungry hordes descend. Toasted is a brand-new T/F tradition: a free-wheeling talk show where we review the weekend’s festivities with filmmakers, musicians, artists and other attendees. “Dave Hill is a pathological liar, a fantasist, egoist, and unlicensed podiatrist. I cannot confirm the veracity of anything in this book, but my feet have never felt better.” (Janeane Garofalo). For those not able to make it to the cafe, we will be live-streaming on CAT-TV and the T/F home page between 2am-4am Monday morning. Catch Dave before he’s in a blockbuster movie with Jennifer Aniston and starts charging insane amounts of cash. Free and open to the public.
Join us on Sunday after the second and final screening of True Life Fund film, Private Violence, for a chance to extend the conversation. The discussion will be guided and hosted by Kit Gruelle, an advocate featured in the film, True North of Columbia, and The Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. We will begin where the film ends and focus on how to translate the momentum from Private Violence into community action. Located in the Palmer Room at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, Room100A (the glass room off the Quad).
This True Life Fund event, open to all, will bring together cross-sections of the community to discuss domestic violence. Kit Gruelle, the advocate featured in the True Life Fund film Private Violence will lead participants through clips of the film and host a discussion. The idea behind this discussion is to break down silos to better address this very private violence in our community. Location: Palmer Room, Reynolds Journalism Institute, University of Missouri. | The first 50 attendees will receive a free ticket to one of the two festival screenings of Private Violence.
