International Film Festival

The eighth edition of the Film Festival is dedicated to the legacy of Paul Goodman, the world-renowned filmmaker, psychologist, and Carnegie Mellon professor, and to his professional focus on the human challenges and achievements of diverse groups of workers worldwide.

This year, Paul has been recognized with two major awards at the Madrid International Film Festival for his astounding accomplishments, including the Best Producer of Documentary Film Award for Shipbreakers. The film is mostly set in Alang, India, where there is a six-mile stretch of an oily, smoky beach where huge ocean vessels that are no longer seaworthy are run aground, broken apart and stripped of everything from portholes and paneling to furniture and propellers.
