Two new movies scheduled to be shown in the Bay Area
in March will deliver a fresh emphasis on life and values.
The first film, “The Human Experience,” is the story of two
brothers who travel the world in search of the answer to such questions
as, “Who am I?” “Who is man?” and “Why do
we search for meaning?” Their journey brings them into the middle
of the lives of homeless people living on the streets of New York, orphans
and disabled children in Peru, and abandoned lepers in the forests of
Ghana.
This film from Grassroots Films of Brooklyn will be shown at the Orinda
Theater on March 6 from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are $9 general or $8 for teens
and groups over 10. A preview and more information on the film can be
seen at http://www.grassrootsfilms.com
The second film, “After the Truth,” is an internationally
acclaimed movie that portrays the fictional trial of fugitive Dr. Josef
Mengele, known as the Angel of Death of the Nazi camp at Auschwitz.
This film will be the premiere presentation of the inaugural “Cinema
Vita Film Festival,” March 7 at the Delancey Street Theater, 600
Embarcadero in San Francisco, from 6-10 p.m. The festival will also showcase
three- to-five minutes films produced by students as well as adult filmmakers.
Sponsored by the Oakland and San Francisco Respect Life Programs, Marriage
for Life, and Ignatius Press, this festival was established to encourage
young filmmakers to create movies about the value, dignity and mystery
of life.
Festival tickets are $15 general or $10/students and seniors over 65.
There will be a pre-show wine and cheese reception. For more information,
visit www.cinemavita.org.
Tickets for both events are available through Colleen Knutsen, diocesan
Respect Life coordinator, at: cknutsen@oakdiocese.org
or (510) 267-8394.
