“Life is to Whistle” at the Custom House Museum on Thursday
Thursday, January 21 at 6pm “Life is to Whistle,” will be screened in the Helmerich Research & Learning Center on the third floor of the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street. Described as a “lush, hallucinatory film” by Stephen Holden in the New York Times, the story follows three contemporary Havana bohemians: Mariana, a free-loving ballerina who makes a vow of chastity to attain a coveted role; Julia, who faints when she hears the word “sex,” and Elpidio, a musician with sticky fingers and a romantic soul, all of whom “walk around with an awareness of the supernatural that simultaneously inspires and oppresses them.” 106 minutes; English subtitles. Doors open at 5:45. Admission for Key West Art & Historical Society members is $5; $10 for non-members, and may be reserved at http://www.kwahs.org/learn/art-as-history-history-as-art-film-series/
