Announcement
Welcome to the Cinema Society of San Diego's 40th season celebration.
When I left Columbia Pictures in Chicago as their Midwest Marketing Director back in 1983, my hope was to "do my own thing" in a city that truly is the finest in this country, and now, 40 years later, I look back at what has been accomplished, bringing quality motion picture events to appreciative San Diego film lovers.
I remember when we saluted the great Karl Malden with a showcasing of his ON THE WATERFRONT. I thought it had gone well, but two days after that event my phone rang, and when I picked it up to say hello, I heard his distinctive voice say this- "Andy Friedenberg, Karl Malden here. I want to tell you something...I do a lot of presentations of my work to groups around the country, and most of them are schlocky...yours was first class".
I thanked Mr. Malden for his gracious words, and I thank all of you for allowing this film lover to fulfill his dream of celebrating the magic of the movies-first class-- for 40 years.
Now let's party.
Andy Friedenberg
Founder and Director
PS. If you did not pick up your pass at our special presentation of FLORA AND SON, we will have it for you at our information desk (simply show id OR if you want a friend to pick it up for you, they will simply be asked to sign off on receiving it).
