Join us for a Film Forward marathon! Drop in for any one or all of the films below.

Noon - 2:00 p.m.: Circles
Five people are affected by a tragic heroic act. Twenty years later, all of them will have to confront the past through their own crises. Will they overcome guilt, frustration, and the urge for revenge? Will they do the right thing, at all costs?

2:00 - 4:00 p.m.: If You Build It
If You Build It spends a year in the life of one of America's most innovative classrooms. Designer/activists Emily Pilloton and Matt Miller, together with their high school students, unleash the power of humanitarian design to help their struggling community in rural North Carolina.

4:00 - 6:00 p.m.: The World Before Her
Moving between two extremes -- the intimate verite drama of the Miss India pageant's rigorous beauty "bootcamp" and the intense regime of a militant Hindu fundamentalist camp for young girls -- The World Before Her delivers a provocative portrait of India and its current cultural conflicts during a key transitional era i the country's modern history.
