The Bellefonte Historical & Cultural Association's annual Film Forum is featuring a repertoire of films of unusual relevance to Centre County at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Adam and Art Gallery, 126 S. Allegheny St., Bellefonte, according to a BHCA press release.

The Forum will begin with "Saving Pennsylvania," a film by Dick Eitzen and Thomas Hylton based on a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Hylton. According to the release, the film vividly details how Pennsylvanians have abandoned their countryside and ravaged their lands, destroying their sense of community during the past 50 years.

Sue Hannegan, associate for Planning and Preservation with the Bellefonte Borough Office of Community Affairs, will speak after the film with a short discussion period.

The second film, "Store Wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town," will follow. This film, by Micha Peled, explores the struggle of a small Virginia town to preserve their way of life, according to the release.

The Adam and Art Gallery in Bellefonte will present the program. Coincidentally, Mary Vollero's exhibit, "Construction and Change," with photographs featuring the impact of Interstate 99, is on display at the gallery at the same time.
