 ‘GUEST OF CINDY SHERMAN’ COMING TO BRAND LIBRARY
Brand Associates (the non-profit arm of the Brand Library & Art Center) is screening the documentary film “Guest of Cindy Sherman” on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. Co-director and star of the film Paul Hasegawa-Overacker (aka Paul H-O) will be the featured speaker after the screening.
Cindy Sherman is considered one of the world’s most gifted and important visual talents. She was named by ARTnews – along with Matissse and Picasso – as one of the most influential artists of the last 100 years. A large collection of her conceptual photographic self-portraits is currently on view at The Broad Museum through Oct. 2.
Hasegawa-Overacker, unlike the low-key and very private Sherman, was the opinionated creator of the iconoclastic New York City public-access TV series “Gallery Beat” in the 1990s. Produced on a shoestring budget, Hasegawa-Overacker developed a large cult following by offering up a heaping cauldron of insanity during the rollercoaster years of the art scene in New York. When he learned that Sherman was a fan of his show he set out to capture the most elusive prize – a series of interviews with her. Their professional relationship eventually blossomed into a romance enmeshing him further into her world.
The film spans 15 years, including archival footage of Sherman. It includes many stars of the art and entertainment world including an argument with Julian Schnabel as well as interviews with John Waters, Danny De Vito, Molly Ringwald, Eli Broad and footage from “Gallery Beat.” The film paints a vivid, irreverent, and often hilarious picture of the New York art scene and brings the legendary Cindy Sherman into focus for an unprecedented close look.
Admission is free and open to the public. Complimentary parking is available in Brand Park adjacent to the library and an accessible entrance and parking is available on the east side of the building.
For more information, call (818) 548-2051.

PRYOR COMING TO FLINTRIDGE BOOKSTORE
On Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m., Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse welcomes Los Angeles author, speaker and parenting columnist Liz Pryor, who shares her book “Look at You Now: My Journey from Shame to Strength” (Random House). For readers of “Orange is the New Black” and “Girl Interrupted,” this is a powerful memoir about a lifelong secret and a dramatic experience that will change a young girl’s life forever.
In 1979, Liz Pryor was a 17-year-old girl from a good family living in a wealthy Chicago suburb. Halfway through her senior year of high school, she discovers she is pregnant – a fact that her parents are determined to keep a secret forever. They don’t want their daughter’s future defined by this mistake. They also want to protect their family’s name. One snowy January day, after driving across three states, Pryor’s mother drops her off at what Pryor thinks is a Catholic home for unwed mothers but when they arrive, she learns that the home is actually a locked, government-run facility for delinquent and impoverished pregnant teenage girls.
In the cement-block residence, Pryor is alone and terrified: a girl from a privileged, sheltered background living amid tough, street-savvy girls who come from the foster care system or juvenile detention. But over the next six months, isolated and in hiding from everyone she knows, she finds herself questioning everything she was once taught about the world. Left to fend for herself she eventually bonds with the girls and, for the first time, sees life through a wider lens.
Told from the perspective of that fragile yet resilient 17-year-old-girl, “Look At You Now” is an honest, moving, suspenseful story about finding strength and friendship in the most unlikely circumstances. Pryor’s journey speaks to the power of family to elude us even as they are closest to us, and to the value of digging deeply to learn who we are as individuals. For anyone who has lived with a version of judgment or shame, this book offers a reminder of the power we have to define our own lives. Infused on every page with the drama of how one single mistake can change everything, this is a memoir you will not forget.

AUTHORS COMING TO FLINTRIDGE BOOKSTORE
On Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m., Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse hosts a booksigning for Peter Bachmann, headmaster of Flintridge Preparatory School, and author of “Advancing Confidently.”
In his 25th year as headmaster, Bachmann began to notice a trend in students graduating from high school: fear. With this in mind, Bachmann penned his second book with the aim of proving the character benefits of those who have demonstrated the courage and conviction to, in Thoreau’s words, “advance confidently in the direction of their dreams.”
Bachmann’s book presents a series of interviews with former teachers, mentors and students who have found success through unlikely, often turbulent pathways. Each story is a celebration of independent thought and action, traits essential to 21st century success.
The author outlines the seven common threads of his profile subjects: they pursued their passions; they exhibited strong determination; all were lifelong learners; all embraced entrepreneurial qualities; all found mentors or advisors; all had transformational experiences outside the classroom; and each pursued a larger purpose beyond themselves.
Then on Friday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m., Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse welcomes New York-based therapist and NYU professor Sherry Amatenstein, who talks with contributors to the book “How Does That Make You Feel? True Confessions from Both Sides of the Therapy Couch,” releasing in September. Amatenstein is the editor of this collection of candid essays.
“How Does that Make you Feel?” offers a glimpse of what’s really going on in the heads of our fellow patients and therapists. Hilarious, shocking, tender and illuminating, these essays by Beverly Donofrio, Molly Peacock, Susan Shapiro, Charlie Rubin, Dennis Palumbo, and more are sure to offer something for everyone, from the armchair psychologist to the therapy veteran.
For more information, contact Gail Mishkin at (818) 790-0717. Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse is located at 1010 Foothill Blvd., La Cañada Flintridge, at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Angeles Crest Highway.
