CCLC’s Discussion/Film Series to Show Offside

The Cobscook Community Learning Center will continue its Speaker / Video Series on Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 7:00 pm with the showing of “Offside.” All are invited to join in a discussion after the showing of the film. The Discussion/film Series is shown on the second Saturday of each month.
In director Jafar Panahi's offbeat Iranian tale, several girls find themselves arrested after posing as boys to sneak into a soccer stadium to see a key international qualifying match. It's illegal for Iranian women to attend sports events, so the gate-crashers end up in a holding pen waiting for authorities. But a sympathetic guard watching through a peephole describes the action for the girls, who are eager to know what's happening in the game. This Film is rated PG for language throughout, and some thematic elements.
There is no charge for this event, and anyone able to give a $3 donation at the door is invited to do so. Refreshments will also be on sale. The program will take place at the CCLC, located at 10 Commissary Point Road in Trescott. Call 733-2233 or visit the CCLC online at www.thecclc.org for more information and directions to the Learning Center.
