## Resource

Hard Light Cinema is run by 8 cinephiles who screen independent and international films in various venues around Richmond. Since founding last November, they’ve screened 35 films. They have 3 slated for January and the first is Frederick wiseman’s 1968 documentary “High School” (free at the Richmond Public Library Main Branch, 1/4, 2pm). For this interview Lewis Peterson, Warner West & Syd Miller join me to talk about: – Who they are and how they got into cinema – Hard Light’s beginning – How it’s grown in 2 years – Deciding what films to show – Slow cinema – How they finance the screenings LINKS Hard Light Cinema website Instagram @hardlightrichmond
