7:00 PM Proud Citizen

Synopsis: “After winning second place in a play writing contest, a Bulgarian woman travels to small town Kentucky for the premiere of her play. Expecting southern hospitality, she instead finds an America full of dichotomy in this funny, heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking meditation on the comfort (and discomfort) of strangers.”

NOT RATED – 89 MIN – 2014

The director, Thomas Southerland, will present the film and host a Q&A afterwards.

The feature will be preceded by a short film, August by alumnus Ethan Millspaugh, and student films: We Hold These Truths, Abandonado, and Dog Funeral.
