Enjoy snacks and a movie, followed by an interactive discussion moderated by Dr. Eric Goldman. The movie selection is: The Band's Visit, directed by Eran Kolirin, Israel, 2007. The Alexandria Police Band arrives from Egypt, but instead of going to the Arab cultural center near Tel Aviv where they are to perform, they find themselves in a development town in the middle of the Negev. The eight Egyptians are forced to interact with the working class villagers, and find that they have a great deal in common. The film has charm, beauty and humanity.
