prime at about 235 pounds. He
buys the young pigs and feeds
them until they reach a number
one size for market.
The other projects will start
with 20 to 30 brood sows and
raise their own pigs. Young
gilts, that will be bred in May,
have already been bought and

Documentary about ‘Psycho ’
shower scene to screen in Winder
The Winder Cultural Arts Center will
present “78/52” with director Alexandre
O. Philippe as part of the South Arts
Southern Circuit Tour of Independent
Filmmakers at the Winder Cultural Arts
Center. 105 E. Athens St., on Sunday,
April 15 at 4 p.m.
Following a screening of the film,
Philippe will participate in a discussion
with the audience about his film and
work. The screening and discussion are
free and open to the public.
78/52 is a film that is based on the
infamous shower scene in Alfred Hitch
cock’s “Psycho,” which has 78 camera
set-ups and 52 edits over the course
of three minutes. “Psycho” redefined
screen violence and introduced a new
way audiences experience danger in a
film. “78/52” highlights what makes this
shower scene so effective by breaking
down frame by frame the dense web of
allusions and layered connotations.
The Southern Circuit Tour of Indepen
dent Filmmakers is a program of South
Arts. Southern Circuit screenings are
funded in part by a grant from South
Arts in partnership with the National
Endowment of the Arts. South Arts,
founded in 1975, is a nonprofit regional
arts organization building on the South’s
unique heritage and enhancing the public
value of the arts. Their work responds to
the arts environment and cultural trends
with a regional perspective, through an
annual portfolio of activities designed to
address the role of the arts in impacting
the issues important to our region, and
linking the South with the nation and the
world through the arts.
