Lena Georges Comes to FAU for Screening of “Refuge”

 

The advisory council for Florida Atlantic University’s Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney present an evening of film, discussion, drinks and tapas on Thursday, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. in the Living Room Theaters on FAU’s Boca Raton campus, 777 Glades Road. There will be reception with Lena Georges, who plays Helen in the film, followed by a screening of “Refuge.”.

“Refuge” depicts the struggle of a 50-year-old woman in an abusive marriage and a young college professor, and how their lives come together to renew their spirits and save their souls. It is a thought provoking soul saving film starring Linda Hamilton and Chris McDonald, with Chris Payne Gilbert and Lena Georgas in supporting roles. Written and directed by Mark Medoff, the author and director of “Children of a Lesser God,” “Refuge” was selected for showing at the PBC International Film Festival.

Tickets for the evening range from $50 to $150, and all proceeds benefit student scholarships in FAU’s Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at FAU. The goal of the Center is to understand the broad range of women's experiences that reflect class, race, ethnicity, age, and the interconnections that shape these experiences in specific ways.

Seats for the event are limited and can be purchased online at fauf.fau.edu/refuge or by calling 561-297-2337.
