SUMMARY:An Evening with Liane Brandon: Award Winning Filmmaker & Former Quincy Teacher
DESCRIPTION:When Liane Brandon\, as a young teacher at Quincy Public Schools\, agreed to help her North Quincy High students make a movie\, she didn’t know that it would change the course of her career – and media education nationwide – forever. On Thursday\, April 24th\, at 7pm\, we are delighted to welcome Brandon back to Quincy for a special screening of three short films\, a reunion\, and a freewheeling discussion about Quincy in the 1960s.\n\nLiane Brandon is the co-founder of New Day Films – the groundbreaking independent film distribution cooperative\, whose films have won two Academy Awards\, an Emmy and many other awards. Her film Betty Tells Her Story was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2022. Brandon is also Professor Emerita at UMASS/Amherst\, and her films and papers are currently being archived at Duke University.\n\nAt this event\, three of Brandon’s early short films will be shown\, all of which have scenes shot in Quincy and a playful tone. Gum and Le Sujet C’est Nous were produced as student projects at North Quincy High. Anything You Want to Be\, Brandon’s founding film with New Day has been featured at a multitude of film festivals and cultural institutions around the world.\n\nThis program is part of Quincy Historical Society’s year-long celebrations of Quincy’s 400th anniversary.\n\nThis event is open to all\, and free to attend.

SUMMARY:"Birdmen Over Boston Harbor: The 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet" Live Presentation & Book Signing with author Wayne Miller
DESCRIPTION:As the inaugural event of our celebration of Quincy400\, Quincy Historical Society will debut a new book and a presentation by local historian Wayne Miller on the legendary 1910 Harvard-Boston Aeromeet held at Squantum. This event will take place on Thursday\, March 6th\, at 7pm\, at the Adams Academy\, 8 Adams Street.\n\nThe 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet came at a historically significant moment in time when almost no one in New England had seen or heard an aeroplane in flight. This unprecedented phenomenon created an explosion of enthusiasm. An estimated one million people either paid to see the spectacle or found free viewing points along beaches in Dorchester\, South Boston\, and Quincy. For two weeks many of the biggest stars in aviation—known at the time as “Birdmen”– thrilled with daredevil stunts while setting American and World’s records.\n\nIn his book\, the first comprehensive of history\, Miller sets the record straight about the importance and many of the details of the 1910 Harvard-Boston Aeromeet. His presentation will take the audience through this amazing story and share some of the book’s eighty exclusive photographs.\n\nWayne Miller is the author of Quincy Massachusetts: A Shipbuilding Tradition and Fore River Shipyard\, and the co-author with Dan Simmons and Corinne Waite of A Quincy Book of Days. He is editor and principal writer of the Historical Society’s Quincy History newsletter.\n\nThis event is open to all and free to attend. A book signing will follow the presentation. We hope to see you there!
