Cinema Sage Hill, a free community film series, presented by the Newport Beach Film Festival and The Studio at Sage Hill, to feature free screening of 'These Amazing Shadows', followed by a Q&A with director Paul Mariano.

Film Synopsis: What do the films Casablanca, Blazing Saddles, and West Side Story have in common? Besides being popular, they have also been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," by the Library of Congress and listed on the National Film Registry. 'These Amazing Shadows' tells the history and importance of The Registry, a roll call of American cinema treasures that reflects the diversity of film, and indeed the American experience itself. The current list of 525 films includes selections from every genre - documentaries, home movies, Hollywood classics, avant-garde, newsreels and silent films. 'These Amazing Shadows' reveals how American movies tell us so much about ourselves...not just what we did, but what we thought, what we felt, what we aspired to, and the lies we told ourselves.

The Newport Beach Film Festival and The Studio at Sage Hill began their cultural collaboration in the fall of 2009 with the launch of Cinema Sage Hill free community film series. Created to foster an appreciation and an awareness of independent films and expose audiences to compelling subjects and perspectives, Cinema Sage Hill showcases diverse and thought provoking independent documentary films from around the world.
