1. The CPU Presents: The Media That Matters Film Festival

Date: Monday, 10/10
Time: 7:30PM
Location: Roone Arledge Cinema, Alfred Lerner Hall

Description: The Media That Matters Film Festival (MTM) features 16
short films that seeks to engage young people in the political
process by addressing issues - among others - of sustainability,
social justice, and identity. Now in its fifth season, MTM is in
the midst of a year-long national tour.

The 16 featured films of MTM were culled from over 450 entries from
producers from all around the world. The event will feature a
screening of the 16 chosen films, to be followed by a Q&A session
with a number of directors and producers.

MTM is sponsored each year by Media Rights, a non-profit
organization that connects filmmakers, activists, educators and
youth through a variety of online and offline projects.

For more information about MTM and a description of its featured
shorts, please visit: http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/mtm05/.

Pizza and refreshments will be served following the screening.
