International Film Festival Presents Argentinean Film

The Jake Erhardt International Film Series continues with the Best Foreign Film Oscar winner, "The Official Story," Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.

 "Critics have called this 1985 film a 'knockout,' and it is," said Dr. Deborah Mitchell, associate professor of English and public relations and coordinator of this event.  "Norma Aleandro plays a high school history professor in Buenos Aires, married to a successful lawyer, whose perfect life spirals out of control when she begins to suspect that her five-year-old adopted daughter is the child of a political prisoner."

The International Film Series was recently named in honor of its founder, Dr. Jacob Erhardt, professor emeritus of German at Westminster College.  Erhardt, who taught at Westminster from 1968 until his retirement in 2004, served as chair of his department from 1970-1986, was named the Language Educator of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Modern Languages Association, translated into English Robert Reitzel's Adventures of a Greenhorn, and was recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as an outstanding member.

The event, which is part of a ten-film series, is free and open to the public

Contact Mitchell at (724) 946-7030 or e-mail dmitchel@westminster.edu for more information.
