About this Event

Friends of Gardena Cinema celebrates the love of libraries! Join us and librarians from all over Los Angeles County for special photo opportunities and appreciation for those who keep our library doors open.

PARTY GIRL is a 1995 American comedy-drama film starring Parker Posey and directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer. It was the first feature film to premiere on the Internet. PARTY GIRL had an Internet premiere ahead of its wide release, transmitted from the office of Glenn Fleishman and his Point of Presence Company on June 3, 1995. While the early video transmission was limited to black and white, it marked the first time a feature film with an American movie theater release was broadcast generally online. Appearing live in the PoPCo offices, Posey welcomed Internet viewers and then introduced the film.

Fleishman recalled the event:

"I helped launch the first official full-length [Internet] movie premiere in 1995 in my offices in Seattle. The film was broadcast to several hundred people worldwide over a CU-SeeMe reflector at Point of Presence Company's offices in downtown and then [in] a few minutes, it was projected at The Egyptian in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Parker Posey was in our offices to hit the start button on the broadcast. I was one cog in a larger set of wheels that involved the Seattle International Film Festival, Film.com (now part of RealNetworks), First Look Releasing, and the film's producers, as well as another online development company and a CUSeeMe engineering consultant, Joseph Kahan who also worked at NASA down in Texas. The launch was shown on in a five-minute segment at the bottom of the Sunday broadcast that week."
