For years, Randall Stith has been coming to Charlottesville to introduce screenings at the Virginia Film Festival. This year, the director of Visual & Broadcast Communications at Virginia Tech was in town to present two films. In this podcast, he discusses both Burning in the Sun and The Apartment.
Burning in the Sun is a documentary about the nascent industry of solar panel construction in Mali, where Stith served as a peace corps volunteer in the 70’s. The Apartment is a classic Billy Wilder film starring Fred MacMurray and Jack Lemmon. Stith talks about the two films, and what he hopes to see as the festival continues.
