international cinema

Last night was the FIRST International Cinema, at BYU-Idaho! I have been wanting this to happen for a long time, as BYU has always had an International Cinema. So, needless to say I was very excited, and a little bit nervous. I didn't have any idea how the turn out would be... my three printmaking peeps thought it would just be us there, but to my surprise, as Mallori and I walked down to the basement, we heard a muffled noise, and as we opened the door to the Theatre, it was completely full. We were taken aback!!! It was actually really exciting. We watched the Iranian movie, The Color of Paradise. If you have not seen it, I strongly recommend it. Something that was equally encouraging was the response, to not only the film but the overall cinema. People were coming up and thanking the professors in charge for doing this. That makes it seem like a cry for something better, and I am glad to be a part of it (I hang up the posters, start and stop the movie...) It was a really nice night, followed by good cheesecake and great conversation. I love a little culture in Rexburg.
