The International Year of Rumi has come to a close, but excitement for "RUMI RETURNING" is only beginning. We have received numerous requests from people around the globe for screenings and conferences to be centered around the film and its message. Specifically, we have been contacted from locations as far away as Thailand and asked to get "RUMI RETURNING" translated into French, Arabic, and Spanish. We are in the process of organizing these events and would love your suggestions.
If your group or institution would like to screen "Rumi Returning," contact us.
Watch for the upcoming broadcasts of "RUMI RETURNING"
presented by American Public Television (APT)
Please check your local listings for exact dates and times, beginning Sept. 2, 2008.
