FILM / SNEAK PEEK: GET A GLIMPSE OF INDUSTRY.

A Friday night series that presents entertainment industry speakers free to the public is now under way at Columbia College Hollywood, which has recently relocated its campus to the former Panavision building in Tarzana.

The speakers appear as part of a class called Industry Seminar, taught by instructors Warren James and Jim Lundstrom, held at 7 p.m. each Friday at the CCH campus at 18618 Oxnard St. Taken for credit by CCH students, the popular series is also open free to the public and to members of the entertainment industry. The schedule is as follows:

An inside look: Would-be vagabonds can live vicariously through the on-the-road odyssey of the filmmakers of ``Anthem,'' a documentary about two 26-year-old female filmmakers who quit their jobs, borrowed a car and went on the road with a camera and a purpose - to explore a new definition of the American dream. For more than six months, they traveled the country and talked to hundreds of people from every walk of life, from a hay-grinder in North Dakota to a 65-year-old waitress in Iowa. Among the luminaries they talked to in their attempt to ``explore the power of inspiration'' are Robert Redford, Studs Terkel, R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, John Waters, Willie Nelson, Geraldine Ferraro and Hunter S. Thompson. The film opens today for a one-week engagement at the Nuart Theater, 11272 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Los Angeles.

Women in Film: Roseanne, Carol Burnett and Jean MacCurdy, who is the president of television animation at Warner Bros., will be presented with the Lucy Award by Women in Film at the organization's fourth annual awards luncheon Sept. 13 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The award honors women in the entertainment industry who exemplify the vision, spirit and accomplishments of the late Lucille Ball. Also being honored with the lifetime service award is writer-producer and former Women in Film president Irma Kalish. For ticket information, call [phone].
