The MV Film Society presents a long weekend of feature films and musical performances that celebrate the convergence of music, culture, and film.
1:00pm: Fred Mollin: Unplugged
Author Reading, Q and A and Book Signing
In 1977, at age twenty-four, Fred Mollin co-produced a record that became one of the most successful ballads in pop music history. How do you follow that? Unplugged answers that question with a journey through a musical and creative life well-lived. The adventures in Mollin’s memoirs, the disclosure of previously untold behind-the-scenes stories, and the incredible array of personalities who make these tales so rich, is a fascinating, humorous, educational, no-holds-barred, and inspiring story.
Unplugged is more than a memoir. It is a book that recounts a life and untold stories from a musical career that involves the world of record production and film composing, spanning over fifty years and counting. Told with humility and humor, Fred Mollin’s journey among so many legends and fascinating people and projects, gives the reader a chance to see behind closed doors.

4:00pm: Brother Verses Brother:
Followed by a discussion with filmmaker Ari Gold via Zoom! From Executive Producer Francis Ford Coppola:
Inspired by Francis Coppola's concept of Live Cinema, “Brother Verses Brother” is a radically personal musical odyssey. Combative twin musicians hunt for their dying poet father, in an improvisation performed by the director's own family, in a single unbroken shot through the streets of San Francisco. One brother seeks love and excitement, while the other seeks to disappear into his music. But as night falls and their father remains missing, their frantic safari leads them from the secret haunts of the Beat poets into the heart of their family. Their tale becomes a testament to the power of music, brotherhood, and the lifeblood of a city — experienced by the viewer in real-time.

Ron Delsener Presents is equal parts all- access pass to New York's greatest gigs, as told by the legendary concert promoter and impresario Ron Delsener, and a portrait of a relentless music business pioneer who can't stop Hustling.
