SFS Experiments: "Deadline" + discussion

Our programming's gotten more experimental, thanks to feedback that we've been receiving from our members. Keep those comments coming in, whether you're a member, ex-member or just a film lover (like us), OK?

We've teamed up with the enlightened folks at the National Library Board (NLB) to bring you two documentaries + discussion sessions. First one is on Sunday 9th July:



DEADLINE
Directed by: Katy Chevigny and Kirsten Johnson
Duration: 90 mins
Interviewing and featuring lawyers, politicians, civil society representatives, death row inmates and families of victims, directors Katy Chevigny and Kirsten Johnson tackle the volatile topic of the American capital punishment system with intelligence, compassion and balance. Furthermore, they capture the extraordinary transformation of one man who held the power of life and death in his hands.

9 July 2006 (Sunday)
2 - 5 pm
Possibility Room (5th level), National Library (100 Victoria Street)
Free Admission!

Post-show discussion guest speakers:

* Professor Michael Hor (Faculty of Law, NUS)
* Associate Professor Lim Chin Leng (Faculty of Law, NUS)
* Dr Mark Nowacki (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, SMU)
(Yes, I know it's late. But better late than never?)

SFS mailer

If you read the mailer, you'd see that we have another documentary + discussion lined up for you on 21st July, this time on the UN. Our guest speaker is veteran diplomat Mr Kishore Mahbubani, who was Singapore's representative to the UN.

Remember, keep that feedback coming!
