Dr. Pamela Nice, Center for Faculty Development, is the creator of a documentary, "Desert in the Coffeehouse," which was shown in September at the Charlotte Film Festival in North Carolina. Locally, the Arab-American Cultural Institute is sponsoring several screenings and discussions at Twin Cities coffeehouses this fall and winter. In the 30-minute film, Nice interviewed Minnesota coffeehouse patrons about their views of the Middle East and why the United States is interested in that area. The film is intended to stimulate discussion about Americans' interactions with Middle Eastern societies. The first screening was held yesterday. A second screening is planned for 6 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14, at Cahoots Coffee Shop, 1562 Selby Ave., St. Paul.
