Roxie Theater says…

Those seeking solace from American cinema's gratuitous violence and chiseled features will appreciate Global Lens. The annual touring film series showcases the best new feature-length and short films from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Kicking off with the offbeat family comedy Of Love and Eggs by Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho, this year's crop promises to induce a serious case of wanderlust. Presented by San Francisco-based nonprofit the Global Film Initiative, the series promotes cross-cultural understanding through cinema and, judging by this year's roster, it's doing a remarkable job.
