    Churches Given Chance to Preview Non-Fiction Films 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Presbyterian congregations are being given the opportunity 
to review non-fiction films produced by the Public Broadcasting System 
(PBS) as part of a pilot program to determine the usefulness of film as a 
discussion tool of contemporary issues facing communities. 
 
    PBS' "Point of View" (POV) is an annual prime-time summer series of 
independent non-fiction films that addresses contemporary community issues. 
Participating congregations will be asked to help organize a local preview 
screening of a film selected by the Media Services Office in Louisville to 
determine whether they think it is of interest to their community.  PBS 
will then use collected feedback to determine its scheduling of POV 
programs on local public television. 
 
    Congregations interested in participating in the POV pilot program 
should submit basic information about the congregation (church's name, 
size, average age of membership, racial/ethnic composition, and contact 
name with phone number and e-mail address,, etc.) to Kelly Hass, Office of 
Communication, 100 Witherspoon Street, Louisville, KY 40202 or by e-mail to 
khass@ctr.pcusa.org 
 
    Deadline is March 18, 1999.
