🎬✨ A glimpse into Shared Stories:

Here’s a look back at our screening of ORWELL: 2+2=5 at — an evening that went far beyond the film.

From Raoul Peck’s powerful exploration of Orwell’s legacy to the thoughtful conversation that followed, this was exactly what Shared Stories is about: creating space for dialogue, reflection, and connection through cinema.

🎤 The post-screening discussion brought together an incredible group including our Executive Director

The speakers unpacked themes of media, power, truth, and how Orwell’s vision continues to resonate today — bridging the film’s ideas with our present moment.

We’re excited to co-present the East Coast Premiere of THE CONDOR DAUGHTER with Belmont World Film (), a powerful and visually stunning story rooted in tradition, identity, and the desire to forge your own path.

Set high in the Bolivian Andes, the film follows a young woman torn between honoring her community’s ancestral midwifery traditions and pursuing her dream of becoming a folkloric music star. A beautiful reflection on culture, belonging, and self-discovery.
