Following a mysterious series of personal ads seeking a meeting with a woman named Susan\, Roberta decides to rock her suburbia boat and see the fascinating woman in person at the most recent location in the paper.

The estranged divorcees’ tragic past haunts an equally eerie present; amid Eden’s suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests\, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda.

Immigrant Families Together was born as a rapid response group committed to doing what the government couldn’t—or wouldn’t do: reunite parents with their children separated by the Zero Tolerance Policy. Over four years\, IFT reunited hundreds of families. Over 2\,000 children’s reunification status are still unknown\, and thousands of people impacted by separations are still suffering the effects of pursuing asylum.  URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/split-at-the-root/ CATEGORIES:discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/satr.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230301T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230301T210000 DTSTAMP:20260702T155259 CREATED:20230224T040705Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230224T040706Z UID:10000863-1677700800-1677704400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Fern Flower: Ukrainian Animation (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:From witchy Gogol adaptations\, sinisterly psychedelic Alice in Wonderland serials and cigarette ads\, to surrealist parables\, antifascist poems\, and even Stephen King (!)\, Ukrainian animators rebuilt their industry after the second world war and made Kievnauchfilm one of the most distinguished animation studios in the world. \n\n\n\nTHE FERN FLOWER: A Collection of Ukrainian Animation showcases some of the most spellbinding projects they created\, from the Soviet era into the studio’s post-Soviet reformation as Ukranimafilm.

Barely 22\, Franz Klammer finds himself at the “eye of the storm” when he shows up for the men’s downhill competition at the 1976 Winter Olympic Games. It was the most watched ski race in the history of the sport with over 25 million watching on ABC in the United States alone. In Austria it was a national holiday and all eyes were glued to the TV. \n\n\n\nSince the previous season the charismatic newcomer has won virtually every race. The pressure from the media and the public and the hopes of an entire nation are off the scales. His sponsor is pushing him to switch equipment right before the competition\, the weather is getting steadily worse\, and his toughest rivals know that Franz has to do better than just a flawless run. Franz senses that he has to find his own path and that only the love of his life can give him the strength to do that. This is the most important race of his life in which he skis a line that nobody even thought was possible\, which made him a legend of the sport\, to this day. \n\n\n\nPacked with thrilling race sequences and set over several days leading up to the contest\, this passionate film explores Klammer’s journey in forging his own identity as an athlete. Director Andreas Schmied’s feel-good biopic provides a highly entertaining look behind the scenes of professional sports and shows Klammer as a rebel against the commercialization of skiing. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Andreas Schmied\n Year: 2021\n Country: Austria\n Runtime: 100 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/chasing-the-line/ CATEGORIES:sports ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/chasing-the-line.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230215T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230215T220000 DTSTAMP:20260702T155300 CREATED:20230130T231322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230211T221630Z UID:10000830-1676491200-1676498400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Pressure (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:Tony is an ordinary boy\, the son of immigrants of the UK’s Windrush generation. Torn between his parents\, who insist that with hard work and trying hard to fit in he will succeed\, and his brother\, an organizer and anti-racist activist\, he tries to carve his own way. \n\n\n\nWhen the political reality of systemic racism in white London continually interferes however\, his disillusionment leads him to his own kind of engagement\, and his own conclusions.
