The film festival that precedes the Mira Nair lecture at Calvin College
will be at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts, in Grand Rapids on
February 21 and 22. An earlier email incorrectly said January dates.
The free film festival will include "Salaam Bombay!" on Tuesday,
February 21, at 7 pm, and "Hysterical Blindness" and "Laughing Club of
India" on Wednesday, February 22 at 7 pm.
Nair will then deliver a public lecture on Thursday, February 23, 2006,
at 7 pm in the Gezon Auditorium on the campus of Calvin College. An
author reception will follow the presentation, which is free and open to
the public. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and a sign-language interpreter
will be provided.
The film festival and the public lecture, titled "Between Two Worlds:
An Evening With Mira Nair," are being sponsored by the West Michigan
Women's Studies Council, which was formed in 2001 to inform the West
Michigan community of gender issues, foster dialogue and give voice to
feminist thought and ideas.
