The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival and 7th Art Corporation’s Film Forum
continues on July 28 with THE HEART OF THE GAME, directed by Ward Serill.
Ellen Staurowsky, professor and chair of the sport management and media graduate program,
and Fe Nunn, Boynton Middle School teacher, basketball referee,
and Excell All Day Basketball Camp director, will speak following the opening night screening
at 7:00 p.m., July 28.
The theater will be announced closer to the opening.
Admission to the film forum events is on a first-come, first-served basis.
THE HEART OF THE GAME captures the passion and energy of a Seattle
high school girls' basketball team, the eccentricity of their unorthodox coach,
and the incredible true story of one player's fight to play the game she loves.
The film has received rave reviews at festival screenings around the globe
for its insightful portrayal of women's basketball.
The Film Forum is an on-going collaborative partnership between FLEFF
and 7th Art Corporation to connect first-run, feature-length U.S. and
international 35mm films with scholars, artists and activists for
community discussions. The Film Forum is designed to open up a way to
think differently about what the words "environment" and "sustainability" can
mean in an interconnected global context through vigorous post-screening
discussion and debate. The Forum is dedicated to rethinking and
reconceptualizing our definition of the environment.
Ithaca College faculty and Ithaca community speakers will lead public
forums for audience discussion after the opening night screenings of
selected feature films at Cinemapolis and Fall Creek Cinemas in downtown
Ithaca.
FLEFF and the 7th Art Corporation are collaborative partners for the
weeklong festival, slated for March 26-April 2, 2007.
