The Cinematheque series this week will screen the Palestinian film "The Time That Remains," plus "Peleshian Shorts" on Wednesday, Oct. 26, in Room E105 of the Adler Journalism Building, Media-Newswire.com reports. Artavazd Peleshian is a celebrated Armenian filmmaker who creates short film-essays that express a poetic view of life through imagery. The films will be introduced by poet Alexandra Petrova, who was born in Russia and now lives in Italy. Cinematheque is part of a UI class, but the public is invited to attend. "Why I Write What I Write, and How I Write It" has become an annual theme for IWP writers, who provide insight into both their writing inspirations and goals, and their writing practices and techniques.
