A film festival will be held on Sept. 13 and 14 that will attempt to raise awareness of the issues surrounding the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The festival, titled "Before and After: A Film Festival and Dialogue on War, Peace and September 11," is comprised of a series of documentaries that attempt to broaden individuals' perspectives on the war on terror and related global conflicts. The films examine the underlying causes and impact of terrorism and war, and places the attacks in cultural, political and socioeconomic contexts.
The festival is a project of Alternative Media Library and Resource Center, a new undergraduate organization that aims to foster non-mainstream forms of creative communication for social change.
All screenings will take place at the Off-Broadway Theatre outdoor courtyard, 41 Broadway. For more information, call Michelle Chen at (203) 436-0459.
The Peabody Museum of Natural History will hold an open house on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 1 p.m., for individuals interested in volunteering.
Museum staff and active volunteers will be available to discuss opportunities and answer questions. Volunteer activities at the museum include teaching school groups, most notably in the Great Hall of the Dinosaurs, leading the "Highlights Tours" on weekends, monitoring the museum's Discovery Room, conducting surveys, and assisting with membership drives and special events. Volunteers are also needed in some collections and office areas. Docents who conduct guided group tours of museum exhibits will begin a training program in October and need to be available to teach some weekday mornings.
Those interested in volunteering but unable to attend the open house should contact Sally Lanzi at (203) 432-3731.
