Postponed: Speaking in Tongues Film Screening

Scene from Speaking in Tongues film.

The film screening of Speaking in Tongues, originally scheduled for Wednesday, September 8th, is postponed until November.

Please stay tuned for an announcement from Northern California Grantmakers about a larger funders screening later this fall.

Have you ever wondered what would it be like if your parents put you in a school where the teacher spoke a foreign language?

Speaking in Tongues by Marcia Jarmel of PatchWorks Films is an intimate film that uses this scenario to explore the provocative notion that being bilingual can be a national asset. Taking us beyond rote arguments and stereotypes, we witness the joys and challenges of four diverse children on their journey to become global citizens. Enter their world and ask, today, is knowing one language enough?

We anticipate you will be charmed and challenged by 2009's San Francisco International Film Festival Audience Award winner.
