 The
Sid Saga: Sid Laverents' Centennial
Birthday Party.
Amateur filmmaker Sid Laverents
burst into national attention
at age 92, when his deliriously
funny film "Multiple SIDosis"
was selected for inclusion in
the National Film Registry.
As he turns 100, his friends
at UCLA are throwing a party
so everyone can get a chance
to meet this astonishing artist,
sing "happy birthday"
and see Sid's work. August
7th.
