Black Hills State plans spring film festival

The 1999 Spring Film Festival at Black Hills State University will include five films as well as a presentation by one of the film's directors.

Movies will be shown in Jonas Hall room 305. There is no admission charge. The festival is sponsored by the BHSU English Club and funded by the UP Team, the global awareness committee, and the vice-president's office. For more information call 642-6078.

Following is the schedule:

• Movie: Gas, Food, Lodging (1992), Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in Jonas 305
  Director Allison Anders examines the lives of three women in a New Mexico town. The film's unusual mix of realism and magic make this one of the best films of the past ten years. Think of the film as a feminist companion to Smoke Signals.
