Two Carmike theaters will hold a "Harry Potter" movie marathon Tuesday that will culminate in the 12:01 a.m. Wednesday showing of the sixth movie.

You can see the first five movies at Carmike's Galleria 6 and Carmike 15 in Greensburg for $15 and, with a separate ticket at regular prices, stick around for the 12:01 a.m. Wednesday debut of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

At the Galleria in Mt. Lebanon, for instance, the movies will screen in order at 9 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 3:15 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Tuesday. The fifth film will end at 11:36 p.m., giving patrons just enough time to hit the restroom and concession counter before the next installment.

Tickets will be available at theater box offices. Check www.carmike.com or with the venues for more information. (Barbara Vancheri, Post-Gazette movie editor)

James Vota, an instructor in the Department of Journalism and Multimedia Arts at Duquesne University, has received two Silver Telly Awards for his documentation of a cross-country trip.

Pittsburgher Vota served as a producer and director for "ALT Project," a film named for the alternate routes the crew of Duquesne students used while traveling across the United States. The documentary captures the lives of small-town America, with topics ranging from green technology to Native American reservation sites.

The group included Nick Sinagra of Brookline, a student who has spinal muscular dystrophy and wrote a daily blog from the perspective of a person with special needs.

The film was among 14,000 entries received from all 50 states and five continents. The project earned the organization's highest honor in both the entertainment and low-budget categories.

The Telly Awards, founded in 1979, honor the best local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. (Vancheri)

Tom Hanks is rejoining the board that oversees the Academy Awards. After a one-year hiatus, Hanks was elected this week to a new three-year term on the board of governors representing the actors branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Hanks was among nine incumbents and four new members elected to the board.

But a rare runoff vote is needed after two directors tied for a seat on the board. Filmmaker Edward Zwick, who directed "Blood Diamond" and "Glory," and frequent Oscar ceremony producer and director Gil Cates tied for a seat representing the directors branch.

Runoff ballots are being mailed this week and are due back July 29. Academy executive director Bruce Davis says he believes it's the first time a runoff election is needed for the board. (Associated Press)
