Indie film alert: The Violin
By Glenny Brock
The UAB Foreign Film Series continues on Tuesday, Oct. 14, with a screening of the award-winning Mexican film, The Violin. Directed by Francisco Vargas and shot in black-and-white, the film tells the story of a Mexican family patriarch, a violinist and a farmer, whose town is taken over by an oppressive government force. The rebel force, which the violinist supports, is subsequently cut off from its stash of ammunition, and the violinist begins smuggling ammunition out of the town in his violin case. The free screening starts at 8 p.m. and will be held at the UAB Hulsey Recital Hall, 950 13th St. South. For more information call 934-8931 or visit www.uab.edu.\
