Academy Award- and Emmy-nominated director Leslie Iwerks will screen her documentary short film "Recycled Life" on Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at Thurston Memorial Chapel on the Punahou School campus.

The screening of the 38-minute film begins at 6:45 p.m. and will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker. The free event is opened to the public and is part of Punahou's film-and-discussion series "Food for Thought."

Free campus parking is available for the event, which ends at 8 p.m.

The Locations Foundation will be donating $10,000 to the American Red Cross Hawaii; a portion of the funds will be going to aid Japan, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands that were affected by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

“The Locations Foundation wishes to express our heartfelt sympathy to those affected by the most recent natural disaster in Japan and throughout the Pacific,” said Mary Edu, president of The Locations Foundation. “We hope that our modest contribution plays a role in easing the pain of this tragedy and inspires others to give to the cause.”
