Are there going to be any other presentations of this documentary in the bay area? It's of particular interest to me being Greek and vegan. Or is there a way of contacting the filmmaker?
Thanks so much!
Niki

Tomorrow (Tuesday February 3) at 7:00 PM, filmmaker Eleni Vlachos will
present the documentary "Seeing Through the Fence", followed by a Q & A
session.
Location: Stanford University, in the Dining Room at the Bechtel
International Center.
Free food: a delicious vegan meal will be served with the film, with
vegan pumpkin gnocchi and tiramisu.
Time: 7 pm for the film, or 6:30 if you'd like to help make food.
Presented by ARF! (Animal Rights on the Farm). Danny Elstein of ARF! is
happy for us to disseminate this info here. You are invited; hope to
see you there!
Synopsis of film:
Through a series of humorous and poignant interviews conducted across
the US and in Greece with "random people," the documentarian' s family,
and activists, "Seeing through the Fence" explores attitudes about the
role of food in modern society and our connection, or lack of
connection, with both the processes and animals from which our food
originates, asking the question, "What prevents ethical principles from
being advanced to action?"
For a trailer (preview) of the film, see:

Bechtel International Center is about 100 yards west-southwest of
Tressider Union.
In other good news, a new eaterie called Fraiche just opened at
Tressider Union that has vegan soy-based frozen yogurt with fresh fruit
and other vegan toppings, like mango, strawberry and coconut shavings.
