Latest happenings




Exciting news!

I am happy to announce that our intergenerational documentary film, “I CANNOT BE SILENT: Testimonies of Peacemaking”, was recently accepted by the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, and will be screened on Sunday, June 28 at 5:05 p.m. at Dave and Busters, 325 N. Columbia Blvd. A full listing of all of the festival films and their venues will be posted in the next few days on the festival’s website at http://www.philadelphiaindependentfilmfestival.com/ and very reasonably priced tickets can then be purchased online as well. Some additional festival information is also at http://piff2009.blogspot.com/ including directions to the venues.

Our film team is also delighted that Philadelphia Weekly magazine will be reviewing the film soon–hopefully, very favorably J--in the context of the festival.

Another screening, which is FREE, will be occurring this Sunday evening, June 21 at 7:00 p.m. in Mt. Airy at the Summit Presbyterian Church, 6757 Greene Street. A beautiful flyer, which I hope you will also share with your friends and the wider community, is attached with further details. This screening is being co-sponsored by the Northwest Interfaith Movement, the Interfaith Peace Walk, Weaver’s Way, Mothers in Charge and others.

We are hoping very much that some of the youth and elders who appear in the film will be able to attend these screenings in order to be recognized and to join with me in the Q and A’s which will follow.

Please join us for either of these screenings, if you have not yet seen the film already.

Best wishes,

Vic Compher

Executive Producer
