The Pennsylvania Film Festival will screen thirty five new documentary films at
the University of Scranton on two consecutive weekends in November. These films
were selected from more than 200 submissions from filmmakers around the world.
Six films will receive their United States premieres.
You've already missed the first weekend (I saw Divining Mom--about Dowsing--)
but coming up is:
On Sat, Nov 16, eight films that explore cultural
differences, including films about spirit media in Burma, the culture of suicide
bombing in Lebanon and the lingering effects of the Cultural Revolution in China.
On Sun, Nov 17, ten films about problems that people
are confronting around the world, including films about gypsies in Bulgaria, pollution
in India, refugees in Macedonia and Kurds in Turkey.
All films will be screened in 228 Brennan Hall on the campus of the University
of Scranton. Admission is $5.00 and free for University of Scranton students.
For information call 570-941-3456. For descriptions of the films, visit
