The 2nd annual edition of the Dorothy Pearlman Finkel Film Series, which is dedicated to demonstrating, through film, the opportunity each individual possesses to contribute to social service, justice, human rights, and global issues, will feature three documentary films by Karen Cantor, who will be present to introduce, screen and conduct a Q&A session following each film.

Tuesday, October 16, 11 a.m. (KAB 111): "Invitation to the Muse" (2011), a 35-minute film that explores the mysteries of the creative process through artists who share self-reliance, faith that beautiful work will emerge, and the ability to be in the here and now.
