On Friday August 20th and Saturday the 21st, Out of Balance screened at a Boston film festival which was part of the Boston GreenFest 2009. The festival took place at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. Director, Tom Jackson, was there to introduce the film and take questions afterward on both days.

JPF received word from the organizer of the film fest in Paraguay re. the August 14th screening of Out of Balance. The organizer, Hugo Gamarra Etcheverry, refers to “Marisela” at TeleSur Internacional who saved the day by providing a DVD with Spanish captions.

“I want you to know that the DVD arrived to our hands 2 hours before the show ! Thanks so much again Marisela.

The film was shown for a crowd of 120 persons, who applauded spontaneously at the end and during the conversation session afterwards, there were mostly expressions of concern for what the film tells and appreciation for the way it is told. So, Tom, I am very happy for my selection. There is another screening on the 24th.”
