Last spring, in looking for a new and different way to fulfill a Prentiss M. Brown Honors Program assignment, three friends decided to try their hand at forming a film festival that would highlight College and community short films. Now, the second annual Albion Film Festival will be held Tuesday, February 13, at 7 p.m. at the Bohm Theatre.
Patrick McLean has long been fascinated with our neighbors to the north. “In 1985, I did my undergraduate honors thesis on Nova Scotian provincial politics,” says the Ford Institute director. From there he was hooked on a country whose culture and people are in so many ways similar to the U.S. but, in other key ways, are so different. This semester, he has taken his love of all things Canada to the classroom, teaching an honors class for first-year and sophomore students called Canada: More than Snow, Hockey and Maple Syrup.
