Randall Stith on the Apartment, Burning in the Sun

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.
