The week of September 11 - 16th, 2011 I coordinated a 9/11 Film Series on the Winona State University campus to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack.
During the 2010-11 school year I began sponsoring campus film screenings as a way of promoting the show and expanding its mission. Initially I thought it would be good fun, and it was, to show a few provocative and important pictures and hopefully tie them into larger issues going...

The film documents more than just the preparations for the stage; it exposes cultural differences with philosophical interpretations on how individuals across the globe interact and work creatively
It is with great pleasure that I recently reviewed the film, A Dream In Hanoi. On July 24, at 11 a.m., at the Winona County Historical Society, Frozen River Film Festival and the Great River Shakespeare Festival will partner to bring this film, detailing a unique collaborative production of Midsummer Night’s Dream, to Winona.

It’s time for us to join those who have been trying to no avail--contact your representatives; attend a peace rally; send an e-mail; start a letter writing campaign
The headline in The Washington Post March 2, 2011 read: “Lt. Gen. John Kelly, who lost his son to war, says U.S. largely unaware of sacrifice.”
No truer words have been spoken. Until recently, I could stand on one side of that statement and hang my head in shame because it’s clear he was speaking to me. On February 27, 2011, Corporal Andrew Wilfarht, cousin to my husband, and son to Jeff and Lori Wilfahrt of Rosemount, Minn.,...

You can read about it here.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/...

The movie set a new standard for possible body counts, the level of property destruction, and how the hero should think and feel about that human and material devastation
