'Film Night' on at Oriental theater

DENPASAR: Award-winning filmmaker Jane Walters will resume the Film Night screening program on Jl. Sri Rama, Legian, on Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 9 p.m.

Tuesday's program features the documentary film 1001 Kecak Dancers shot on Aug. 16 at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana cultural park, Jimbaran.

A graduate from Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Walters has worked in the film industry on feature films and for television.

Her first independent documentary, Bali Hope in Paradise, on the Bali bombing tragedy and its aftermath, won the International Film Award for Best Documentary at the New York Independent Film Festival and the Challenging AsiaChoice Competition Category and Humanitarian Award at the First EBS International Documentary Festival.

The film nights are an attempt to provide stimulating entertainment and discussion, with filmmakers presenting films not normally be accessible to Bali residents. -- JP.
