2010 Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival Student Program
The Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival is proud to be screening our eighth annual Student Film Program. In the past eight years we have introduced thousands of students to a diverse collection of inspiring and thought provoking films that they otherwise would not have had the opportunity to see. We are thrilled to announce the following films as a part of our 2010 student program.
In the midst of a densely urban setting in downtown Pasadena, radical change is taking root. For over twenty years, the Dervaes family have transformed their home into an urban homestead. They harvest nearly 3 tons of organic food from their 1/10 acre garden while incorporating many back-to-basics practices, as well as solar energy and biodiesel.

Unearthing the Pen
Even longer ago, white men came and took away the children to make them fight in their wars, using the pen to enlist them.
The boy still suffers from the cultural consequences of this symbolical curse.
Unearthing the Pen is an intimate portrait of a boy's struggle to reconcile tradition with his desire to learn.
