| | Farewell to a good friend Third World Newsreel mourns the passing of St.Clair Bourne, a pioneer Black filmmaker. Always active, both politically and cinematically, he made films that edified and enlightened us, while also creating opportunities for filmmakers of color. He made over 40 award-winning films, yet was always approachable and generous with his knowledge. Saint was willing to sit and talk to anyone about his or her life and ideas, and offer his honest, insightful perspective. A lively discussion always occurred when he visited the TWN office with his keen sense of humor and his bright smile. He will be deeply missed by us all. A Memorial Service will be held at 7:00 pm on January 25th, 2008 at the Riverside Church, 490 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, with a reception following.
