November 18, 19, 24, and 25
Each year, Washington DC's National Gallery presents the award winning films from Montreal's International Festival of Films on Art, which is the oldest festival devoted exclusively to films about architecture, music, painting, sculpture, photography, dance, and cinema.
This year's Festival selection will include two Canadian films:
Beethoven's Hair: The improbable journey of a lock of the composer's hair from his deathbed in 19th-century Vienna to a home in late 20th-century Arizona. Director/producer Larry Weinstein will introduce the film.

Larry Weinstein is my brother and Beethoven's Hair is a great film tracing the lock of hair taken from Beethoven on his deathbed and the route of this treasured lock as it wends its way through time.
I loved the film when I saw it here at the Tel Aviv Museum this past April.
Washington DC'ers and our dearly beloved hostess and family from Virginia, if you get a chance to go, do so!
