DESCRIPTION:A War In Hollywood A Film Screening\nby Oriol Porta (89 min.) 2008\n 
 (Tickets $10; seniors/students $8) \nStars: Walter Bernstein, Moe Fishman, 
 Roman Gubern\nA War In Hollywood is an in-depth look at the impact that the 
 Spanish Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship had on the North American 
 film industry. Hollywood used the Civil War as a subject in more than 50 
 films. The defeat of democracy in Spain left an “open wound” in the 
 heart of liberal actors, directors and screenwriters in the US, who used 
 affection towards democratic Spain as a symbolic feature to define the 
 romantic spirit of their characters. This sympathy, however, was shaped 
 according to the American political tendencies of each period. This 
 evolution is narrated through the personal story of Alvah Bessie, a 
 Hollywood screenwriter who fought as a member of the International Brigade. 
 This meticulous documentary includes excerpts from Casablanca, For Whom the 
 Bell Tolls and The Way We Were among others, and commentary by actress 
 Susan Sarandon. \nSponsored by The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA)
