Two films featuring music by Linda McCartney, both Baltimore premieres
and one a short film Palme d’Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, will
be shown tonight as part of an effort to raise money for breast cancer
awareness and detection.

Seaside Woman, an animated film directed by Oscar Grillo and featuring
music by “Suzy and the Red Stripes” (really Paul McCartney’s
Wings, with Linda on lead vocals), was honored at Cannes in 1980. Also
showing will be Ken Vrana’s Snow Angels, a documentary look at three
women with breast cancer that is dedicated to Linda McCartney (who died
of breast cancer in 1998) and features one of the last songs she
recorded.

The films begin at 8 p.m. at
Shriver
Hall, on the campus of
Johns
Hopkins University, and will be preceded by an hour of live music.
The evening is sponsored by the Garland Appeal, a fund-raising campaign
for breast cancer awareness endorsed by Paul McCartney; the Ruscombe
Mansion, a Baltimore holistic treatment facility; and the Johns Hopkins
Center
