FLORENCE, Ala. 在今年的乔治·林赛UNA电影节上放映的四部电影探讨了家庭悲剧的主题. 马特·欧文(Matt Irvine)的《K8彩乐园》(Scott's Dead)讲述了两兄弟在艰难的环境下重聚的故事. Starring Jasper, Ala., native Michael Rooker ("Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer," "Slither," "Walking Dead"), the film is a product of DePaul University's Project Bluelight, created to give students the opportunity to work with industry professionals. "Atrophy," by director Derek Carter, also examines a reunion, one between a father who embraces his solitude and his estranged son, who appears looking for "absolution from tragedy." "Atrophy" was made as Carter's graduate thesis project for the Savannah College of Art and Design. 《首页》和《K8彩乐园》都探讨了家庭成员必须做出的艰难选择，以保护他们所爱的人. In Dan Van Wert's "Controlled Burn," a wife whose husband suffers from Alzheimer's Disease must make a decision about his right to die. 伊朗裔导演本·胡尔·塞佩尔的《K8彩乐园》讲述了一名纳粹将军必须求助于一名被判死刑的犹太医生来救他儿子的故事. Awarded Best Short Film at the Hollywood Film Festival, "The Desperate" was made through Sepehr's non-profit organization, Tolerance Through Knowledge, a film company to make short films, feature films, documentaries and educational films with a purpose. All George Lindsey UNA Film Festival screenings will be at the Zodiac Theatre, 416 N. Court Street in Florence. Screenings are free and open to the public. The 14th annual George Lindsey UNA Film Festival will be March 3-5. It is one of the few film festivals hosted by a university. 该活动于1998年由UNA首页和著名演员兼艺人乔治·林赛(George Lindsey)创立.
