NEW FILM ABOUT HEARING IMPAIRED WOMAN ARCHAEOLOGIST
Philly Fun Guide Announces Premiere with Open Captioning
Bryn Mawr Film Institute, Wednesday, March 22, 7:00 P.M.

Born in 1901, Theresa Goell started her career as an archaeologist with four strikes against her: she was female, divorced, a Jew working with Muslims and hearing impaired. But with unshakable determination, Goell abandoned the comfortable life of a middle-class housewife in Brooklyn and pursued her passion for archaeology at Nemrud Dagh, a gigantic monument to King Antiochus, who lived in a Kurdish region of Turkey in the century before the birth of Christ.
At age 50, struggling with increasing hearing loss, she and her excavation team of 50 Kurdish men cleared the burial site of Antiochus and uprighted heads of ten 30-foot-high sculptures dedicated to the Greek and Persian gods Antiochus worshipped. Goell’s adventures are documented in Queen of the Mountain, a film produced and directed by her niece, Martha Goell Lubell.

Additional options for viewing the film:
Scheduled to be broadcast on local public television stations WHYY, Thursday, March 23, 10:00 P.M. and WNET in New York on Sunday, March 26, 2:00 P.M.
Copies also available for sale through Women Making Movies - check out their press kit in pdf.
