Celebrating Films That Promote The Common Good

Date: January 17, 2014 - January 21, 2014

Location: Seeley G. Mudd Theater, Claermont, CA

 
The Whitehead International Film Festival is based on Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy – a worldview that focuses on the radically interdependent nature of all that exists. Given this interdependence, we are each responsible for contributing as much as we can toward the common good. Intercultural appreciation and understanding is a component of the common good that can be fostered by viewing and discussing excellent films produced around the world.

We have an exciting line up of films for you this year. This list will be updated as we get closer to opening night. For a full description of each film, please click on “feature films” or “Short Films” to the left of this page. Some times may change.
