The Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission urges you to check out an upcoming masterpiece - and monster-piece!

The one on March 25 is a tribute to a popular TV presence in Memphis for many years. The other event coming up on April 1 at the Brooks Museum brings Berlin to Memphis via an award-winning film along with documentaries on the German connection by two local filmmakers.

Thursday is the first day of a four-day tribute to the life and work of Watson Davis, better known as "Sivad," the legendary WHBQ-TV horror host of the 1960s and early 1970s.

The festivities begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art with a Monster Martini Meet & Greet (cash bar), followed by a screening of one of Sivad's favorite films: "Night of the Demon." Admission to the film is $8 and includes a book about Sivad. Tickets are available at http://www.brooksmuseum.org.

The event is organized by the godfather of Memphis indie filmmaking, John Michael McCarthy, and film journalist John Beifuss. Special thanks go to Diane and Fred Smith, Malco Theatres, Inc., WHBQ-TV Fox 13, The Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission, MemphisED and the University of Memphis.

Screenings continue through the "Sivads of March" celebration at Brooks, including "A Bucket of Blood" at 3 p.m. Friday; "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" at 12:30 p.m. Saturday; "The Giant Claw" at 2 p.m. Sunday and "From Hell It Came" at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. All screenings are $5, but free if you have a Brooks VIP Film Pass.

Other Sivad events at the Brooks include:
- The 13th Li'l Film Fest, with 13 five-minute movies by local filmmakers in a tribute to the TV Monster of Ceremonies (Saturday, 2 p.m., $5).
- A panel discussion about Sivad (Sunday, 1 p.m.)
WILKOMMEN! Berlin Comes to Memphis

Don't miss this one-time local screening of "Alle Anderen" ("Everyone Else"), a double Silver Bear Award Winner at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival, showing at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art on April 1 at 7p.m. and presented by On Location: MEMPHIS.

Included in the program is "The Berlin/Memphis Film Connection": three webisodes by local filmmakers Eric Swartz and Sarah Bolton, who will also be showing a trailer of their new documentary "Children Of The Wall." Eric and Sarah will be introduced by Tom Schmitt, MemphisED Chairman and Senior Vice President, FedEx Solutions.

The event is sponsored by the Memphis and Shelby County Film & Television Commission/Memphis ED and presented in partnership with the Memphis Council for International Visitors.

"Alle Anderen" was nominated for the Berlin festival's Golden Bear Award and won two Silver Bears for Best Actress (Birgit Minichmayer) and Grand Jury Prize.  The film tells the story of Gitti and Chris, an odd couple battling their way through a holiday of secluded togetherness. It is an intimate portrait of two people as they can only be when alone: their secret rituals, their silliness, their unfulfilled dreams and their power struggles.
