 POLITICAL
FILM SOCIETY MEMBERS VOTE TO NARROW LIST OF NOMINEES
One of the rules of the Political Film Society is that there
can be only five nominees per category each year. In 1998,
seven films were pre-nominated for promoting political consciousness
of the desirability of settling conflicts peacefully. Accordingly,
members may now vote to narrow the nominee list to five. To

POLITICAL
FILM SOCIETY ON RADIO
Starting
this year, the Political Film Society hosts a radio program,
"Inside & Outside Hollywood," in association with the American
Radio Network. The host for the program is Michael Haas, founder
of the Society. Two shows have been recorded but not yet released.
A regular weekly time and station will be assigned when several
shows have been taped. The program will provide information
on the Society, news about Hollywood, and interviews with
filmmakers and others in Hollywood with special emphasis on
film industry politics.
