A while ago we had an unusually intriguing Movie Club event on the blog as a fundraiser. The movie Tár with an absolutely stellar performance by Cate Blanchett was nominated for six academy awards; as you probably know, it was about the downfall of a brilliant woman who is an orchestra conductor. As it turns out, an active member of the blog is an internationally known orchestra conductor, Gisele Ben-Dor (see: Gisele Ben-Dor Conductor – A champion of Latin American music ), and we asked her if she would lead a discussion on the movie from her vast experience.
It was terrifically interesting! We recorded it and are now offering it for those who make a donation to the blog. What about it? The donations are tax deductible and you’ll find it a great experience!
To give it a shot:
First, go to the Blog Home page and scroll to the bottom to find the donation buttons.
Then, grab your invoice number from the email the blog just sent you, and head to the Tár Fundraiser Registration Form, enter your email address and invoice number, et voilà–you’ll get an email with links to the Movie Club proper as well as to the “Afterparty” discussion with Gisele.
Interesting, intriguing.

I needed this post movie discussion to understand the movie better than I did on my own.
Thanks for that link.
I donated, but have’nt reveived a email from the the blog with invoice number. Is this the kind of question I should maybe address to Diane? Thanks.
Yup! Or just click on Help and ask support. Sorry ‘bout that.
Just finished watching the “Tar Movie Club” video, that was fantastically interesting, thanks to everyone involve in hosting this and providing these comments. Still to watch the “Afterparty”, looking forward to it.
In case it helps someone else: In my case, I got the “invoice number”, needed for the “Tar Fundraiser Registration Form”, in an email from the payment service through which I paid the donation money, not in an email from Ehrman blog. In the email from the payment service, the invoice number was called “Transaction ID”. After I entered this info on the registration form, I then received email from Bart Ehrman Blog with the links to the videos.
Update to my earlier comment: I did eventually get email from the Ehrman blog, complete with an invoice number. It came in 4 days after I made my donation. (To be clear, not complaining, just describing the sequence of events.) Main point for those (like me!) eager to get to the video: The transaction id from the payment service worked in the registration field, getting me to the video, sooner.
