Sunday March 9, 1967 CBC TV, Canada. Mimi and Joan appeared on Canada's Sunday program, and Joan was interviewed afterwards about her Institute for the Study of Nonviolence. The interview is on YouTube, but I have no further details on what songs they played.

Summer Sampler: Music in Golden Gate Park August 24, 1967 Produced by KQED San Francisco. This one-hour black-and-white show featured Mimi Fariña, Margaret Fabrizio (a harpsichordist), Ashish Kahn (a sarodist), and Quicksilver Messenger Service. The New York City area T.V. Guide listed "the Miller Band" instead of QMS, but this is not corroborated by other sources. Thomas McKean, a long-time Fariña fan who saw this on television in NYC, recalls that Mimi performed two songs: Dino Valenti's "Get Together" and Tuli Kupferberg's "Morning, Morning" (which she also performed with Joan at the 1968 Newport Folk Fest). I don't know if this film still exists.

Massive Retaliation 1984 Directed by Thomas A. Cohen and B.J. Sears A drama about a group of survivalists who retreat to their camp after the threat of nuclear war. Mimi plays a minor role as Susie Barker, who takes care of the horses on the camp while the owners are away. When nuclear war becomes imminent, she seeks shelter in their house, but the leader of the survivalists won't let her in. Unfortunately, Mimi only appears in three minor scenes in this movie, the first one being about a half-hour in. She does, however, sing "Children of Darkness" at the beginning of the movie, in a duet with Dewey Bunnell, from the band America. The song is repeated at the end of the movie.
