For Immediate Release – Carnegie Mellon University’s 2013 International Film Festival will offer a sneak preview of its upcoming lineup of award-winning independent films with an advanced screening of “Danube Hospital.” From director Nikolaus Geyrhalter, the film reveals how state-of-the art computer technology and robot-like transporters in science fiction have become a reality within an Austrian hospital.

Running March 21 to April 13, the festival will bring more than a dozen films to Pittsburgh from Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Romania, Poland, Austria, Finland, the Ukraine, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Japan, China and the United States.
