First Annual Typewriter Arts Festival Schedule of Events
6:30pm Typewriter-Themed Art Exhibit in the Beer Garden
The Greenville Drive-In and the Greene County Council on the
Arts are partnering to create a one-day art show focusing on the medium of
typewriters. Images will be projected on the big screen, as well as on display
in person. New Baltimore, NY’s Sister Salvage will host a collection of vintage
machines for display and sale. Guests are encouraged to bring typewriters and
join the “type-in.”
7:00-8:30pm Live Performance with The Boston Typewriter
Orchestra
The Boston Typewriter Orchestra is a collective endeavor
that engages in rhythmic typewriter manipulation combined with elements of
performance, comedy and satire. Their performance at the Greenville Drive-In
will be their first in the Catskills.
8:45-9:45pm Screening of “The Typewriter (in the 21st Century)”
In May of 2010, filmmakers Christopher Lockett and Gary
Nicholson read an article on Wired.com about the last generation of typewriter
repairmen. Casual conversation over coffee turned toward the inevitable
conclusion—a great documentary. This is the first local screening of this
fascinating film.
10:00-11:50pm Screening of the French romantic comedy
“Populaire”
A typewriter plays a key role in the storyline of the second
film in this double feature.
