Another Film Festival
Probably for most of us there are special dates that reoccur each year that have special meaning in our lives. I think immediately of birthdays and anniversaries. Twice a year, and every year for the last 24 years, I have moderated a film festival at the Immaculate Conception Center in Douglaston. This spring will be the 53rd festival, which will include the showing of the 300th film.
