Join writer/director Emilio Estevez for an advanced screening of his new film “The Public”. The film also stars Alec Baldwin, Taylor Schilling, and Jeffrey Wright and centers on the regular patrons of downtown Cincinnati’s public library, many of whom are homeless and marginalized, and their interactions with the library staff who have built emotional connections with them. When a bitter Arctic blast hits the city, the patrons turn the library into a homeless shelter by staging a sit-in, which escalates into a police standoff. All showings will be followed by a Q&A with Estevez moderated by Ryan J. Dowd, executive director of Hesed House Shelter.

Run Time: 122 min.

Tell YOUR Story About an Awesome Experience While in New Orleans

Because who tells stories better than librarians?!

New Orleans is turning 300 this year! To celebrate, we’d like YOU to participate in the One Time In New Orleans! ad campaign while onsite at Annual!

Enter the state-of-the-art video booth and you’ll be asked to begin your story with “One Time in New Orleans…”. IBM Watson and other AI software will support you with beautiful, double-exposure visuals. For example, mention the word “jazz” during your story and striking video projections behind you will show footage of jazz musicians!

After the team completes the production of the story with narrative and other visual enhancements, they’ll send them to you. We encourage you to share them on your social media – and who knows, your story might be included in a future New Orleans advertisement.

Check it out on the exhibitor floor – booth 1657.
