Film Screening: Ayn Rand - A Sense of Life March 3, 2009

Join us for a free public screening of the film "Ayn Rand - A Sense of Life" March 3rd, 2009 at the University of Texas Belmont Hall (BEL 328) at 7:30 PM. Associate Producer Jeff Britting will be on hand to answer questions after the screening.

Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersberg, Russia. She escaped to America in 1926 amidst the rise of Soviet Communism. She remained in the United States for the rest of her life, where she became a much respected author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The themes of freedom and individualism were to be her life's passion, and would win her a devoted following among readers. Her books continue to sell over 300,000 copies each year. The film uses interviews with friends and colleagues, family photos, clips of her speaking, and great moments from the films she wrote to portray a complex, passionate person with the brains to articulate her ideals and the guts to stand up for them.

This event is sponsored by the UT Objectivism Society. Special Thanks to the Ayn Rand Institute.
