"This concert film was shot in October, 2022, over two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. More than 70 artists gathered with family, the Nashville community, and music fans to remember and pay tribute to the life and songs of John Prine. Prine, widely celebrated as one of history's greatest songwriters, captivated millions of fans and earned the admiration of icons."

THE TRUE STORY OF TAMARA DE LEMPICKA & THE ART OF SURVIVAL

"A visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful paintings – from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States in 1940, and her revival in the current art market. Tamara de Lempicka was the preeminent Art Deco painter, known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, but she was so much more."
Special one-time screening, followed by a presentation from Dr. Jerry Smith of Dayton Art Institute.
All members of DAI get FREE popcorn at this screening when they show their DAI membership card.
