Free film and lecture presentation at the Springdale Canyon Community Center on Friday, May 2, 2014 at 7 pm.

In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar©-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who’s telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions.

The presentation includes a post-film discussion by Mark Jeffreys centering around the question: “Are Stories Good for Us?” Mark has a Ph.D. in both English and anthropology, and is currently the Chair of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, as well as Director of Honors, at Dixie University.

Attendance is free.
