ANNVILLE, PA (08/30/2012)(readMedia)-- The HAPPINESS Colloquium film series at Lebanon Valley College will screen the film, "Eat Drink Man Woman" (1994) at Annville's Allen Theatre Tues., Sept. 18 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $1 for non-LVC students and $3 for the general public.

This Academy Award–nominated film tells the story of a widowed, retired master chef and his three beautiful daughters. One daughter is a schoolteacher, one is a career woman, and the third is a young 20-year-old. The family lives together in Taipei, Taiwan. As time passes, the girls fall in love with new men and their situation within the family changes.

The film's food themes pair nicely with the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery's exhibit "A Feast for the Eyes" on display through Oct. 21.

HAPPINESS is a year-long integrated series of guest speakers, roundtable discussions, films and courses that will consider the meaning and importance of happiness as a psychological, physiological, social and cultural phenomenon. It involves presentations by speakers from a number of disciplines who approach the theme from the standpoints of the arts, the wellness of body and mind, the demands of a consumer economy, the expectations and duties of political life, and the broad philosophical questions of human flourishing.
