The Filmmakers Collaborative, The Woods Hole Film Festival and David Tames arranged for Les to come to MIT while he was still in the Boston area after spending the week down in Woods Hole as the 2007 filmmaker in residence at the film festival. The seats were filled and the discussion was engaging after the screening of THE BLUES ACCORDIN' TO LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS, WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE, and clips from his upcoming film featuring Ricky Lecock.

All these and the rest of his titles are only available on his website www.lesblank.com. There will be an exclusive video interview with Les which we will post as soon as possible.

David Tames hopes to organize events like this more regularly due to the great success of this night. We will keep you updated with any of these great events!
