Image: Film still from the Nightingale trailer “Friendly Mirrors”, shot during Nightingale Cinema’s “Friendsgiving” Party in November 2014. Nightingale trailers were created each year by an artist or programmer at the cinema’s Friendsgiving celebration until 2016. Originally organized by Nightingale founder Christy LeMaster and programmer Chloe McLaren, the Friendsgiving celebrations were an opportunity to invite friends and programmers to get together, eat dinner, and celebrate community during the holidays. This frame shows layered images of people gathered at the event; on the left side is a spotlight person with a microphone, and in the middle we see the reflection of a person with a camera.
