What's In Store for the 2007 Film Forum

We've had a great series of events this summer, and look forward to gearing back up again in the Spring (one more forum in October will be an update from the TxMPA). Topics for the Spring promise to be interesting and useful to a wide range of film enthusiasts, and we may even have some celebrity guests! (no promises yet ;-))

We will also be creating PODCASTS of each forum that will be stored in an online archive, and downloadable. So if you miss a forum, or want to jog your memory from you you may have attended, this new feature will be for you.

Stay tuned for details....
