 Composer Philip Glass To Host Fog of War Screening During NYC Arts Festival 
 September 2 in Tribeca 
  
  
  
 New York -World-renowned composer Philip Glass will introduce the Academy 
 Award-winning documentary THE  FOG OF WAR for a special one-night-only 
 benefit screening on September 2, at Tribeca Cinemas at 7pm as part of the 
 Imagine Festival of Arts, Issues and Ideas. 
  
  
 Narrated by Vietnam War era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, and with a 
 critically acclaimed score by Glass, The Fog of War examines the psychology 
 and reasoning of the government decision-makers who send men to war.  In a 
 rare personal appearance, Mr. Glass will speak to his experience in scoring 
 this film. 
  
 Proceeds from this screening will benefit the humanitarian work of Clear 
 Path International, which has landmine survivor assistance projects in 
 Vietnam, Cambodia and on the Thai-Burma border. Clear Path's largest 
 humanitarian effort, now in its fourth year, is in the provinces north and 
 south of the former Demilitarized Zone in central Vietnam, once known as 
 McNamara's Line. In this region, civilians are still killed or injured by 
 unexploded ordnance weekly. 
  
  
  
 Kicking off two days prior to the Republican National Convention on August 
 28th, the six-day Imagine Festival will showcase concerts, performances, 
 cabaret, poetry slams, screenings, exhibits, panel discussions and 
 large-scale street theater. 
  
  
  
 "In the present moment, the arts community will be an important alternative 
 to the usual pre-packaged opinion of our ubiquitous mass media. For the arts 
 community this is a tremendous opportunity as well as a personal 
 responsibility,"- Philip Glass. 
  
 Tickets to the Fog of War screening are $20.00 and can be purchased at the 
 door or in advance on Clear Path International's website at 
 http://www.cpi.org. 
  
 Tribeca Cinemas is located at 54 Varick Street (at Laight Street). Screening 
 starts at 7pm, September 2.
