PFA and FAF are pleased to present an informal discussion and question-and-answer session with Black Maria Film and Video Festival Director John Columbus. "Since 1980, the Festival has honored the creative foresight of Thomas Edison who, 100 years ago, along with other pioneers, introduced a potent new universal mass medium: the motion picture. It is the tradition of lively inquiry, innovation, open artistic exploration, independent vision, and illumination of the human condition which motivates the Festival's work in behalf of contemporary film and video."-Festival brochure
