Film festival features work of Harvard affiliates

Hollywood's calling!

The 1997 New England Film & Video Festival is presenting the films of two Harvard affiliates.

The Empty Mirror, a film by Barry Hershey, a 1967 graduate of the Law School and a visiting fellow in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, offers an examination of a deposed Adolph Hitler. The film shows Wednesday, April 2, at 7 p.m.

Six O'Clock News, a film by Ross McElwee, a filmmaking associate in the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, takes viewers on a cross-country trip punctuated by pit stops to find people whose personal tragedies have been featured on the six o'clock news. The film shows Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m.

The festival, presented by the Boston Film Video Foundation, runs March 31 to April 5 at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline. Tickets and six-day passes are available in advance or at the door. For a complete schedule, call 536-1540.
