Global Lens
The nationally touring film series "Global Lens" comes to Houston with five films at the MFAH in July and five more at Rice Cinema August 22-September 7 (visit www.ricecinema.rice.edu for the Rice Cinema schedule). The prestigious Global Film Initiative has two admirable objectives: to introduce young audiences (middle, high school, and college students) to contemporary world cinema; and to familiarize devotees of art-house fare with the diversity and excellence of cinema from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
For information about the schedule of educational screenings, contact film@mfah.org to receive a list of events.

Honoring Sally Yan Yan Ng
Many MFAH regulars will recognize the name of Sam Ho, a film scholar and former Houston resident who has guest-curated many Asian film series at the MFAH over the years. Sam frequently attended our screenings with his wife Sally, who worked at St. Luke´s Hospital for many years. Sadly, Sally passed away in March after a brave struggle with cancer. This evening — Sally´s and Sam´s wedding anniversary — honors her memory as a remarkable person and passionate film lover. Sam plans to introduce the two films he selected for the program.
