The popular CAN Film Festival, an annual public showcase of the best work from students in the College of Communications' film/video program, will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 3, in Eisenhower Auditorium.
CAN is a fully student-run festival of student work, and students have a major role in deciding what will be shown. The format of the event is a non-judged screening of the best student work from the past academic year. The showing will run approximately three hours and include a brief intermission. Tickets for assigned seating are free to students with photo identification and $5 for the general public. Tickets may be purchased in person at any Center for the Performing Arts box office or by calling (814) 863-0255.
On the May 4 episode of Odyssey Through Literature George Boornstein of the University of Michigan speaks with host Leonard Rubinstein about his discovery and publication of 38 early poems of the Irish poet W. B. Yeats.
On the May 11 episode, John Fyler, chair of the English Department at Tufts University, discusses the plight of the poet as historian -- or as panderer. Fyler discusses his article "Fabrications of Pandarus," which analyzes the Chaucer tale "Troilus and Cresseida."
Odyssey Through Literature is produced as a continuing education service of the Department of Comparative Literature. It airs Sundays at 6:30 on WPSU, 91.5 FM from University Park and 106.7 FM in Altoona, and on WPSB, 90.1 in northern Pennsylvania.
