The Jules Verne Festival and world class lounge, The Edison, are presenting a series of films entitled EXTRAORDINAIRE, which will pay tribute to iconic films of the past, honor legendary people, recognize outstanding achievements and celebrate significant milestones. The Edison will host EXTRAORDINAIRE once a month to create living history, providing guests an insight into past eras of invention and discovery; blending science, adventure, imagination and innovation.

The first film in the series was "The Birds" on September 14th with a special presentation to actress and conservationist Tippi Hedren, as well as a special tribute to the original cast which took place prior to the screening. Ben Mankiewicz, new co host of At the Movies, was the host for the evening.

The Edison was set up with movie screens throughout the club and guests sat around happily eating and drinking while the movie played. The movie itself held up well and the screams heard were real.

Future EXTRAORDINAIRE screenings will include 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes and Some Like It Hot amongst other notables. For tickets please visit ^{www.edisondowntown.com}
