Dear AFI Silver Patrons:
2013 marked both our 10th anniversary as the AFI Silver Theatre and the 75th anniversary of the
historic Silver. As we enter into a new decade, we have continued to evolve as a cultural institution,
and this year was marked by an evolution in technology. We have expanded our capabilities to
include 4K Digital Cinema and Dolby 3D. And please note, I say expand.
Celebrating the historic Silver Theatre’s 75th anniversary this past September was an extraordinary
and fun event for AFI Silver and the Silver Spring community. I’d like to personally thank our Advisory
Council members —
William Brakefield
,
Karen DeFrancis
,
Sara Dent
,
Peter Edwards
,
John
King
,
Catherine Leggett
,
Theodore Pedas
,
Brian Tracey
and
Norman Understein
— and the
event sponsors —
Corcoran Caterers, Inc.
,
Costco
and
WJLA/News Channel 8 and Mr. Arch
Campbell
— for making AFI Silver Theatre’s free reprisal of the Silver’s inaugural presentation of FOUR
DAUGHTERS a successful event. We came together to honor the individuals who were vital to the
restoration of the Silver Theatre and remembered the significance this theater had for its community
back in 1938, and for many years to come. We’ve been encouraging the community to share their
“Silver Memories,” expressing what the Theatre means to them, and they have been pouring in over
the past few months. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to submit your memories to
to continue the celebration.
Of course what is most important is what we put on our screens, and over the last year we’ve had a
diverse, enlightening and enjoyable lineup with some of the highlights including: director Joe Wright
with ANNA KARENINA; the Alloy Orchestra providing musical accompaniment for UNDERWORLD,
THE LAST COMMAND, THE OVERCOAT and MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA; plus Washington
premieres of new African, Caribbean, European and Latin films; and for the true denizens of the DMV,
Henry Rollins with THE LEGEND OF COOL “DISCO” DAN, Jeff Krulik’s LED ZEPPLIN PLAYED HERE
and of course Count Gore De Vol.
We are very grateful for the support of many individuals, companies and foundations, and for the
support of Montgomery County and the State of Maryland, who make AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural
Center a reality.
I extend my thanks to the thousands of people that make up our audiences and support
our ongoing efforts to preserve and honor the art of film and the film-going experience.
Best wishes,
Director, AFI Silver Theatre & Cultural Center
