DESCRIPTION:Film evenings begin with optional potluck refreshments and social hour at  
 6:30 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after 
 the film.\n\nDestiny\n\nBy Youssef Chahine\n\nThis spectacular film 
 delivers a strong message against religious intolerance.  It's the story of 
 Averroes, the famous philosopher and scientist who lived in 12th century 
 Andalusia -- a land torn between religious and political intolerance.  It's 
 the story of the struggle between the rational secular and the fanatical 
 orthodox.  It's set in 12th century Andalusia but could just as well be set 
 in any contemporary society today. Egyptian director Youssef Chahine 
 invites us to get to know Averroes, the free-minded writer who wrote in an 
 age when Europe was living under religious inquisition, as a model of 
 openness and wisdom in an age of terrible anguish.  Chahine shows through 
 Averroes' story that "ideas have wings;  no one can stop their flight.  The 
 free expression of ideas have the power to prevail over the forces of 
 intolerance and limitation."  This is their destiny. Chahine very 
 courageously honors Averroes and at the same time  does homage to the 
 golden age of Hollywood cinema.  The film is a splendor for the eyes and 
 ears.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n
