'12 Windows' international film series set

An anthology of 11 short films on the 9-11 attacks – '11'09'01 – opens a themed film series called "12 Windows: Encountering Culture Through Film" on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. in the F.W. Center Olin Auditorium.

A panel of commentators chaired by Teresa Meade, professor of history and women's studies, will follow the film.

The series is sponsored by the Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Union College Partnership for Global Education, which runs the series on both campuses. The PGE asks faculty and staff on both campuses to select and introduce films that explore cultures other than our own, and examine these communities location within a diverse human geography.
