Director David Gaynes will screen and discuss his documentary “Saving Hubble” at the Best Video Performance Space on Monday, June 10, starting at 7:30 PM. Admission for this screening is $5. The film is about the successful effort to save and repair the space telescope and how that complex piece of equipment connects humans to the wider universe. Gaynes has been showing the film as part of his “Hubble Roadshow,” events that often include panel discussions about related issues and—weather conditions permitting—post-screening star viewing through the telescopes of amateur astronomers. David Gaynes is a documentary filmmaker and cameraman. “Saving Hubble” tells the story of the fight to keep the Hubble Space Telescope alive during a complicated period in NASA (and American) history. David is drawing world-wide attention for “Saving Hubble”‘s grassroots, ad-hoc distribution campaign, affectionately titled the Hubble Roadshow. He is also finishing a new documentary feature about a pilgrimage to Israel taken by a group of nursing home residents, currently titled “Next Year in Jerusalem.” David was the cinematographer of the recent award-winning documentary feature “All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert” (Dir. Vivian Ducat). In 2005, he won multiple festival awards for his debut documentary feature “Keeper of the Kohn,” which explored the life and challenges of Peter Kohn, the 70-year old waterboy of the Middlebury College Lacrosse Team. David lives in New York City, making a living on a mix of income from film projects and freelance camera and directorial work.
