Beowulf: Prince of the Geats
The Medieval Studies Student Association will be showing a medieval themed movie during the medieval themed homecoming week. The showing will take place on October 22 at 6PM, in SUB Fiesta Room A&B.
We are very happy to announce that we have been granted the rights to show the film Beowulf: Prince of the Geats. Scott Wegener, the producer of the film, has generously granted us these rights with no charge. This film, which Wegener describes as "not the typical Hollywood production" and has earned two regional Emmy Award nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was produced with a zero budget and all profits will be donated to the American and Norwegian Cancer societies. At Mr. Wegener's request, we will be collecting donations for the American Cancer society at the event. You can read more about the film and its anti-cancer mission here: http://www.princeofthegeats.com/.
After the film, MSSA members will lead a discussion on the film and on the portrayal of the medieval world in film. You can read about the event on the MSSA website: http://mssa.unm.edu/homecoming2009.htm.
