Event Details

In collaboration with the Oneota Film Festival, the Porter House Museum will be hosting film historian Michael Zahs for a special reception on Thursday, April 19th at 5:30PM. The reception is free and open to the public.

A retired teacher from Washington County, Zahs uncovered a vast collection of historic films from Iowa’s past. In particular, the collection of Frank and Indiana Brinton—acquired from a Washington estate sale decades ago—includes 10,000 magic lantern slides and motion pictures on cellulose nitrate film. Some date all the way back to 1895. The Brintons once toured the Midwest around the turn of the 20th century demonstrating these early projected films. Now Zahs is doing the same for new audiences.

Michael Zahs was featured in a recent documentary titled Saving Brinton, which follows his rediscovery of the Brinton collection and his efforts to restore and exhibit this long lost treasure of cinema history.

Following the reception at the Porter House, the documentary will be screened at 7PM at the Decorah Elks Club as the inaugural event of the Oneota Film Festival.

***This pre-screening reception is replacing a previously-scheduled event on Wednesday the 18th, which has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts.***

Event Details

Decorah Public Library staff are hosting three book discussions in April. All groups are open to the public and newcomers are encouraged to attend. Anyone interested should call the library at 382-3717 to learn more or to reserve a book.

The History Book Group will discuss parts one and two of Ron Chernow’s “Grant” at 6:30 p.m. Thurs. April 19 on the 2nd floor of the library. Despite distinguished service in the Mexican War, Ulysses Grant resigned from the army in disgrace amid recurring accusations of drunkenness. But in the Civil War, Grant realized his remarkable potential, and his military fame translated into a two-term presidency—one that was plagued by corruption scandals involving his closest staff. All the while Grant himself remained more or less above reproach. In this biography, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Alexander Hamilton” and “Washington: A Life” sheds light on one of America’s most complicated generals and presidents, Ulysses Grant.

For more information, contact Kristin Torresdal (Happy Hour and History Book Groups) at 563-382-3717 or Carmen Buss (Friday Book Group) at cbuss@decorah.lib.ia.us.

The festival opens at The Elks Lodge in downtown Decorah at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 19, with the first Oneota Film Festival film “Saving Brinton.” This work follows the journey of Historian Michael Zahs who discovers a rare collection of film and attempts to restore and exhibit his findings. A Q&A with the filmmakers will follow this showing.

Following the opening event, films will be available from 6 to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from noon to 4:15 p.m. on Sunday; all on Luther’s campus. in Valders Hall of Science Rooms 206 and 362, Olin Room 102, and in the Center for Faith and Life Recital Hall.

The Oneota Film Festival was founded and is run by a group of representatives from Luther and local film lovers who have formed a non-profit corporation to host the festival. The mission of the festival is to “build and sustain a community of film lovers through screenings and discussions.”

This year’s festival focus is on themes related to making connections, and the weekend will provide many opportunities to connect with filmmakers, friends and members of the broader community. The board of directors hopes that through this festival, viewers and filmmakers alike will be inspired to view and discuss compelling issues in today’s society.

This will be the ninth year that the Oneota Film Festival has been held in Decorah. Inspired by Luther alumnus Walter Ordway, a world traveler and filmmaker, the Oneota Film Festival board has arranged a weekend of eclectic, artistic films intended to delight a diverse audience.

More information and a full schedule of events is available at oneotafilmfestival.org.

A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,050, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college’s website: www.luther.edu.
