Movie talk

	Nurses need to know how to ‘walk both worlds’ Movie talk

Penn is playing a starring role in this year’s Philadelphia Film Festival. More than half the films in the festival are being screened at venues on or near campus and Penn experts are on hand, too, to discuss the movies at a series of Cine Cafes. These free informal discussions, with complimentary refreshments, enhance the filmgoing experience and are led by Penn movie mavens in the departments of Cinema Studies, Near Eastern Languages and Music.
