Have You Heard The Mermaids Singing?
This month’s video night offering is I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing, a Canadian film from 1987 directed by Patricia Rozema. In T.S. Eliot’s poem The Love-Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, he writes “I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.” Eliot is right, they won’t sing to him, but they will sing to us.
Set for the most part in an art gallery in Toronto, we will watch three characters create and release tensions in debut performances. This is an independent effort with a film-noir feel.
Join us at Herland, May 29th at 7:00 PM. The popcorn is free and the soft drinks and bottled water are available for a Herland donation.
If the DVD or tape is closed-captioned, captioning will be available.
