Columbia Film Society's Film Tour Continues...
The Columbia Film Society, in Columbia, SC, is one of the host for the 1999-2000 Southern Circuit Film Tour, a program of the SC Arts Commission. The Southern Circuit is a touring exhibition of six independent film/videomakers with their works; and is the only centrally-organized, regional program of its kind in the nation. The Circuit continues with Deborah Stratman's From Hetty to Nancy.
The raw beauty of Iceland's austere landscape forms a backdrop for a series of caustic letters written at the turn of the century by a woman named Hetty as she treks with her companion Masie, four school girls and a school marm. The film juxtaposes Hetty's ironic cataloguing of the petty social interactions of her companions as they endure discomfort and boredom with historical accounts of catastrophes that reveal the Icelandic people subject to the awrsome forces of nature.
There will be a filmmaker reception, from 6:30-730pm, prior to the screening at 8pm at the Nickelodeon Theatre, located at 937 Main Street in Columbia, behind the State House.
Columbia's site for the 1999-2000 Southern Circuit is sponsored by Bravo, the independent film and video channel and Time Warner Cable.
