  Unorthodox Screening This Tuesday

  Anna Wexler has been a Filmmaker in Residence here at the WGBH Lab for the past 9 months, working on her film Unorthodox: a film that follows 3 Orthodox Jewish subjects as they experience a unique phenomenon within the modern Orthodox community — the year in Israel — and watches as they come to terms with their beliefs and themselves.

  This Tuesday, Anna will debut a 20-minute Work-In-Progress cut of Unorthodox that offers an idea of the progress she has made and where the film is headed. The screening will be free and start at 6 PM in the Joan Jonas Performance Hall. Support independent film and stop by to see how the film is turning out!

  Need Election Footage? Check the Sandbox

  We know that everyone (and their tech-savvy mother) is making video about the election. Heck, we’re doing it ourselves. But what if you want to make a web video and you don’t have much footage? We’ve got the answer.

  Today we’ve added 50 new clips from the WGBH Archives related to the election (quality b-roll of DC and newsreel footage) to the Lab Sandbox. What does that mean to you? That means you can take all of that footage, download it in high quality, and edit it however you like! It’s totally free so long as you don’t sell what you make. So check it out!

  WGBH Lab on PBS.org

  In a cool turn of events, “Voting Schmoting,” one of our Election 2008 Open Call shorts, got featured on the PBS Vote 2008 site. Check it out:

  

  This may be the first of many, so check back soon to hear more!

  Edit: Looks like it got changed out for another video feature over the weekend, but you can find a screenshot above and you can still watch the short on the WGBH Lab website
