Please join us for the final screenings of master’s films from the documentary
class of 2003, on Sunday, November 2 at 6 pm and Tuesday, November 4 at
6:30 pm. Our venue is the Parkway
Theater in Oakland
, a neighborhood institution that dishes out pizza
and beer along with great movies.

So come early, order beer and pizza, and settle in for programs that
feature 70,000 tons of nuclear waste, the global journey of the matsutake
mushroom and multiple crossings of the green line. Not to mention Trent
Lott in cheerleader’s garb.
