Bella Vista

Set against the stunning landscapes of Montana’s Big Sky country, the carefully observed Bella Vista follows the day-to-day life of Doris (Kathleen Wise), a college professor who teaches English to international students in Missoula. As her students seek out community and stability through their cohorts, Doris struggles to find connection in her otherwise-isolated environment. Director Brunner-Sung, assistant professor in Ohio State’s Department of Theatre, introduces the screening. (88 mins., HDCAM)
