A visit from filmmaker Adrian Cowell

One of AU's treasures that everyone should know about is the The Center for Social Media. The Center champions films and filmmakers that bring to light issues of injustice and inequality in society. It's a project of the School of Communication and is directed by faculty member Pat Aufderheide.
Among the events on their current calendar are a couple of appearances by Adrian Cowell during the Environmental Film Festival in the latter half of March. Cowell will be on campus March 20 at 6:30pm in the Wechsler Theater in Mary Graydon Center to screen and discuss his film Banking on Disaster (VHS 760) and on March 22 at 6pm to screen and discuss Finding the Story: From the Amazon to Burma and Back. Other Cowell films you can view in Media Services are The Last of the Hiding Tribes ( VHS 6441-3) and In the Ashes of the Forest (VHS 1675).
