Olga Rocheeva is the co-coordinator of the Mideast Solidarity Project, an Evergreen State College student group that has helped organize the annual film festival since its inception in 2004. This year's festival, running from Feb. 15 to Feb. 23, will feature 30 films. The films range in length from short documentaries to feature-length productions. The festival will also feature 10 or 11 different speakers. Admission is free to see all films and speakers. The film festival is co-sponsored by Olympia BDS, a group that advocates for "a non-violent, civil movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel," and the Rachel Corrie Foundation.
