Dec 13, 2019- Paris Once Upon a Time: A film by Leonard Pitt, with live narration and music.
The invention of the postcard in 1869 changed the world. Cheaper to send than a regular letter, communication around the world EXPLODED. Collecting became a cultural phenomenon. France produced a million postcards a day with the industry becoming key to the French economy. Join Leonard for a walk through his spectacular collection of vintage postcards for a view of a Paris that has long since disappeared. The messages written to families back home in the US evoke the American experience of Paris at the turn of the century. Charm is not wanting. This is the ultimate nostalgia trip.
Fee: $15
Speaker: Leonard Pitt - Limit: 40
December 13, Friday, 7pm (Studio 3)
The lecture will be held upstairs at 1801B Fourth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710.

Jan 17, 2020 - The Women are Burning - a brief history of the European witch hunt with Leonard Pitt
The persecution of women during the infamous European witch trials is a little understood period in history. How did women come to be perceived as evil, all-powerful, and in the service of the Devil? What was the Church's logic as it carried out this program of repression? Join Leonard Pitt as he reveals this history with compelling images and abundant historical narration. Not for the faint of heart.
