<p class=MsoNormal>Sarah Kernochan, a two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker, will
appear in person on Saturday, March 23 at the Cleveland Institute of Art
Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard. Kernochan will answer questions after
screenings of two of her movies: IMPROMPTU (1991), for which she wrote the
screenplay, at 5:30 pm, and the full-length documentary MARJOE (1972),
which she co-directed with Howard Smith, at 8:30 pm. Admission to either
film is $12, Cinematheque members $9; age 25 & under $8. One can see both
movies for an additional $8.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Kernochan won her first Academy Award (for Best Documentary
Feature) for MARJOE, a shocking portrait of Southern evangelist and charismatic
con man Marjoe Gortner, who became a minor movie star and celebrity because of
the film. Her second Oscar was for the 2002 documentary short subject
“Thoth,” about a New York street musician. Kernochan is also a
screenwriter (NINE ½ WEEKS and SOMMERSBY, in addition to IMPROMPTU), novelist,
playwright, and singer-songwriter with two albums for RCA. She is married to
Tony Award-winning director James Lapine, a frequent collaborator with Stephen
Sondheim. Her website is <a href="http://www.sarahkernochan.com">www.sarahkernochan.com</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>USA, 1972, Sarah Kernochan, Howard Smith<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature,
this shocking exposé profiles charismatic, twentysomething Southern evangelist
Marjoe Gortner. Marjoe began his career as a precocious child preacher but
continued holding tent revivals (and milking his followers for money) long
after he stopped believing. He comes clean for the cameras. Despite its Oscar, <i>Marjoe</i>
was barely released in the American South; the distributor feared it would
spark outrage. Co-director Sarah Kernochan will answer questions after the screening.
Restored 35mm print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive (Cassie Blake). 88
