Start your weekend with a fun event at USEF! USEF presents a year round American Educational Film Series with the aim of learning more about American culture through film. We will screen a movie on a Friday toward the end of each calendar month at 3:00 pm. The selected titles have been critically acclaimed in American cinema culture and/or are just good fun! A short group discussion about the movie will follow the screening. February's film is "SYDNEY WHITE"

America's sweetheart Amanda Bynes stars in the fun comedy Sydney White! When tomboy Sydney (Bynes) is banished from the most popular sorority on campus, she is taken in by seven socially challenged but endearing guys. With the help of her new friends, Sydney stands up for outcasts everywhere and takes on the reigning campus queen in a popularity showdown! But can she succeed and also win the heart of gorgeous frat guy Tyler Prince? You'll love this hilarious and sweet age-old story with a charming modern-day twist! (Amazon.com)

Movie starts at 3:00 p.m. sharp and is FREE of COST! The rating on this movie is 'PG-13.' To book a seat, please register in advance at USEF's front desk with your national ID. Come and join the fun! :-)
