Beowulf: Prince of the Geats

Film Showing and Discussion

October 22, 6PM, SUB Fiesta Room A&B

 

As part of UNM's medieval themed homecoming week, we will be showing the film Beowulf: Prince of the Geats. on October 22 at 6PM, in SUB Fiesta Room A&B. All students are welcomed to attend. After the film, MSSA members will lead a discussion on the film and on the portrayal of the medieval world in film.

This film, which producer Scott Wegener describes as “not the typical Hollywood production” and has earned two regional Emmy Award nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was produced with a zero budget and all profits will be donated to the American and Norwegian Cancer societies. At Mr. Wegener’s request, we will be collecting donations for the American Cancer society at the event. You can read more about the film and its anti-cancer mission here: http://www.princeofthegeats.com/.

The MSSA expresses its thanks to Mr. Wegener for granting us the rights to show the film.
