Silverdocs parties for Al Gore & Martin Scorsese June 15th Ceviche Restaurant/Discovery World Headquarters Photos by Paul Simkin
The Event: Current TV and WL hosted a happy hour in honor of Al Gore and his film, “An Inconvenient Truth.” A few hours later, Discovery Channel and WL host an after-after party for Martin Scorsese who ws been honored at the Guggenheim Symposium. THE SCENE: Budding young film directors and producers mixed with established producer and distributor types during a laid back couple of hours at Ceviche’s spacious bar and lounge, sipping on passion fruit tequila martinis with jalapeño garnish. At the late night reception, young, hip “social smokers” mingled on the outdoor patio, while more serious patrons found solace, intelligent conversation and air-conditioning in the colorfully lit and minimally decorated interior. THE GUESTS: Al Gore, Current’s Anne Kallin Zehren, Mark Halperin, Ceviche owner Mauricio Fraga-Rosenfeld, Director Jim Jarmusch, Grace Guggenheim, Kate Taylor and Murray Horwitz.
