On Screen/In Person: Runaway October 3, 2012

A Bangladeshi feature film, Runaway tells the story of a rickshawalla named Babu who has made it his life's mission to find runaway husbands/fathers and return them home. But Babu gets more than he bargained for when his big catch turns out to be a corrupt politician. It is a dark story that twists from present to past, city to village, good to evil. (2011, 96 mins., drama, Bengali in English subtitles)

The Modlin Center for the Arts, in collaboration with the Firehouse Theatre Project, presents On Screen/In Person for the 2012-2013 season. The program, organized by the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, tours new independent American films and their respective filmmakers within communities across the Mid-Atlantic. Visiting filmmakers work with host sites to develop programming that provides context and greater appreciation for their work and the art of film.
