The Echo Park Film Center hosts film collector Russell Harnden for another screening of “Gems from the Archives” -- a series devoted to obscure, outdated, and orphaned films drawn from his personal collection of cartoons, educational films, industrial films and other footage.

The film feels dated, but Snodgress' Oscar-nominated performance still rings true.

Paolo Davanzo is an enthusiastic, avuncular man whose passion for filmmaking and education has resonated for half a decade from a brick building on the corner of Sunset and Alvarado.
