SIMPLE AS WATER Screening & Benefit
Please join Austin Film Society for a screening of SIMPLE AS WATER this Saturday, April 1, at 4:30 PM. A portion of ticket sales will benefit earthquake relief efforts in Turkey and Syria.
Director Megan Mylan, composer Hanan Townshend, and other special guests from the film will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.
Academy Award-winning director Megan Mylan (LOST BOYS OF SUDAN) joins us to present her new film which documents a number of Syrian families as they contend with the impact of war and displacement. Epic in its worldwide scope but intimate in its focus on families.
