For any of you readers who happen to be in Chapel Hill from 3/30–4/1, you have a chance to see noted director Mark Rydell. Per this UNC press release:

Rydell will visit the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill March 30-April 1 during a free film festival honoring his work.

Movie-goers can see five of his films and participate in discussions with him at the Chelsea Theater in the Timberlyne Village Mall, 1129 Weaver Dairy Road, in Chapel Hill.
