First screening- Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise"

For our first screening we will present Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise". The event is free and will be hosted at Mount Holyoke College. We will also show the Tom Waits/Iggy Pop segment from Jarmusch's "Coffee and Cigarettes" before the feature. After the film there will be a discussion.
