Beverly Hills, CA (RUSHPRNEWS) October 22, 2007-— The Oscar®-winning documentaries “The Stone Carvers” and “The Times of Harvey Milk” will screen on Monday, October 29, at 7:30 p.m. in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Linwood Dunn Theater as the next installment of “Oscar’s Docs, Part Three: Academy Award®-Winning Documentaries 1977–1988.”

Director Rob Epstein will be on hand to discuss “The Times of Harvey Milk,” the 1984 Documentary Feature winner.
