The annual Maryland Film Festival returned to an in-person format this spring, and HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano spent a few busy days watching movies at Baltimore's Parkway Theatre. In this podcast episode, Marie and Mike discuss some of the documentaries, feature films and short films that make this a special event for movie buffs. They agree that a festival highlight was "Navalny," a documentary about the Russian political dissident Alexei Navalny. They also liked "A Woman on the Outside," a documentary about women in Philadelphia who organize bus trips to visit incarcerated men in Pennsylvania prisons. They also liked the documentary "Fire of Love," about a couple of scientists who study active volcanoes. And while we're still talking about documentaries, Mike also saw a film about Frederick Douglass and a second film about Harriet Tubman that will be airing on Maryland Public Television this fall. Among feature films, Mike saw a family drama from Iran, "Hit the Road," that he recommends.
