Tuesday, September 29, 2009, 6:30pm - 9:30pm

Join the MIT Club of Boston at the World Premier of "Broadside" with Producer Bruce Twickler '67. This two hour film will be airing on public television throughout the nation beginning in October, but here at MIT we can be among the very first to witness this exciting historical tale.

“Broadside” tells the story of the fiercest naval war in the age of sail. The rivalry between the British and the Dutch spanned oceans, continents and empires. The film is cast in the actual houses, gardens and forts of the seventeenth century and uses 3D animations to bring 1660 New Amsterdam and London to life. As those of you who attended the Club of Boston-sponsored showing of Twickler’s previous documentary film “Damrell’s Fire”, the technical sophistication is simply stunning. We are in for another treat!

Producer Bruce Twickler '67 will explain what went into the making of this engaging documentary. More background can be found at www.broadsidethefilm.com
