    For over 25 years Joan Saffa has been producing award-winning non-fiction television programs. Her documentaries have been honored with several Northern California Emmys, Golden Cine Eagles, a national Emmy, and a George Foster Peabody Award. Come meet her and see two of her films. San Francisco in the 20s (60 mins) SF in the 20s captures the frolicking good times, as well as the uncertainties lurking just below the surface of a decade defined by prohibition, flamboyance and racism and ending with the great stock market crash. Narrated by Ed Asner. Keeping Score: MTT on Music The Music of Aaron Copland (116 mins) In this fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony take viewers on a guided tour of the music of one of America's greatest composers. It's a great ride not only for those familiar with Copland and his "American" sound, but for those willing to listen and discover this terrific music for the first time. The selections chosen cover Copland’s iconic Americana classics (Appalachian Spring, Rodeo) but also lesser know works of a probing artist who straddled the popular-classical divide.
