PALACE THEATRE EVENT UPDATES
TEXAS INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL COMES TO SEGUIN
"WHERE SOLDIERS COME FROM" will be shown on Friday January 27th at 7pm CT. Admission is $3.
This is the first in a series of Texas films from the Texas Independent Film Network (TIFN) that will be shown each month at the Palace, sponsored by the Seguin
Film & Arts Festival, Palace Theatre, Davideo Productions and Red Spoon Productions.
The film is a documentary that follows several U.S. soldiers on their personal journeys as they fight the war in Afghanistan. Winner of the SXSW 2011 Jury Award, and a recent nominee for a 2012 Independent Spirit Award, WHERE SOLDIERS COME FROM has received countless rave reviews for its intimate, heartfelt look at the individuals behind the war that has become the second-longest continuous military conflict in U.S. history.
All proceeds from this screening will go to Seguin's Veterans Comfort
Zone (VCZ) which is a program under the direction of the
Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Unit #61 and is housed at the DAV
building, the former fire station on Vaughan Street. VCZ offers a
variety of services to veterans in-house and helps refer them to
agencies where they can get additional help with resume writing, job
searches, housing, education, emergency assistance, peer-to-peer
meetings, group meetings, family support groups, Bible study, and help
with VA benefits.
VCZ co-chair Terri Herle will speak after the film about VCZ, what it offers, and how the community can provide support.
