Ms. Kargman and Ms. Stringer will be with us at the Biblioteca de Boquete for the screenings and will lead the discussion after the screenings.  Ms. Agrelo will also discuss documentary filmmaking in the United States and the short film industry in general.  The presentations will be in English, but Shaleen M.
