"REQUIEM" SCREENING SHOWCASES TALENT | 1. Yana Alliata di Montereale, center, celebrated the completion of "Requiem for Emily," her final film project for the Loyola Marymount University/LA School of Film and Television, with a preview screening and dinner party Jan. 7 at the Alliata estate in Makiki Heights. Guests included Celia Miner, left, and her husband, Jim Miner, who had housed members of the cast and crew during the film shoot in South Dakota, and Marie-France Rouze, who came to the party with Richard Chamberlain. Chamberlain and others who helped fund the project received gift bags containing a copy of the film and a jar of "Dakota-grown" raspberry jelly. The screening was followed by a buffet dinner in the gorgeous new "glass house" adjacent to the historic mansion. If all goes well, Hawaii will see "Requiem for Emily" at the Hawaii International Film Festival in October.
