The directors of the Brigham Young University International Cinema and their special guests discuss the films showing at BYU’s International Cinema--one of the longest running college cinema programs of its kind in the world.

"From the Booth" is a great way to get insights into foreign films, the history of cinema, and about what is going on in the world of media studies.
