Iowa City's 7th annual Landlocked Film Festival features two ambassadors from Denmark. One on the Bijou Cinema screen Friday night (8/16) and one who has been a driving force behind bringing international films to the festival the past five years.
"I just think the foreign film has so much to give," says Birgit Brun Coffman, 78, a retired research scientist who came to the United States in 1957 and to Iowa City 10 years later. She's made it her mission to bring films like "The Ambassador" to the Landlocked festival, which runs Friday through Sunday (8/16-8/18) at various downtown locales.
