SUMMARY:Maine Inside Out presents "Love is Alternatives to Incarceration"
DESCRIPTION:Maine Inside Out (MIO) initiates dialogue\, develops leadership\, and builds community across boundaries with collaborative original theater\, inside and outside correctional facilities. MIO youth inside of Long Creek Youth Development Center and in Maine communities of Biddeford\, Lewiston\, Portland\, and Waterville create original theater as a tool for social change. \nMIO’s outside community group\, comprised of members from our Biddeford\, Lewiston\, and Portland groups\, is currently touring “Love Is Alternatives to Incarceration” (Love Is). Love Is premiered as a collaboration with Portland Outright on November 8th\, 2017 to a sold-out crowd at USM’s Hannaford Hall. The performance includes a short film\, live performance\, and audio recordings of poetry by currently incarcerated member of MIO and Portland Outright. \n“Love Is Alternatives to Incarceration” interweaves multiple narratives of young people outcast from their home\, school\, and community and placed into systems designed to separate them. The play documents how\, despite these boundaries\, they create connection and community with each other. It is a call to action to love and care for each other more boldly. Themes addressed include: youth incarceration\, homelessness\, school discipline and school to prison pipeline\, racism\, substance use\, family separation\, social stigma\, trauma\, support\, resilience\, and love. \n \n

SUMMARY:Figures of Speech presents "The Art of Memory" film & Puppetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Figures of Speech Theatre for a screening of “The Art of Memory: Stories from Maine’s Outer Islands\,” a shadow puppet film based on oral histories gathered on some of Maine’s most remote islands. Following the 35-minute film\, audience members of all ages will be invited to peek behind the scenes before creating live shadow scenes of their own stories! \n \nFigures of Speech Theatre partnered with the Island Institute to produce “The Art of Memory.” Director of Education at Figures of Speech\, Ian Bannon\, led a team of four artists as they collaborated with students in six of the one- and two-room schoolhouses off Maine’s coast. In the spring of year one\, Bannon travelled to each island to introduce students to documentary techniques\, which they then used to cull stories from other island residents\, historical archives\, and publications. The entire artistic team returned that following fall to collaborate in the creation and filming of shadow puppet adaptations of their favorite stories. \nThe resulting 35-minute film combines a variety of shorts ranging from pirate stories to tall-tales to ill-conceived stand-offs with Abenaki Native Americans. The pieces are held together with a layered dreamscape of shadow imagery\, narration from some of Portland’s most sought-after voiceover artists\, and a captivating original musical score by Dave Noyes of Rustic Overtones. \n  \nFigures of Speech Theatre\, a puppet theater company founded in Freeport in 1982\, is the recipient of four coveted UNIMA Citations of Excellence—the highest distinction in American puppet theatre. The company has toured all over the world – from Sofia\, Bulgaria to Tokyo\, Japan\, to Lima\, Peru – while retaining a strong commitment to teaching and performing throughout its home state of Maine. \nThe Island Institute works to sustain Maine’s island and remote coastal communities\, and exchanges ideas and experiences to further the sustainability of communities here and elsewhere. The Institute’s Outer Islands TLC (Teaching and Learning Collaborative) improves the quality and ensures the sustainability of one- and two-room island schools on Cliff\, Cranberry Isles\, Frencboro\, Isle au Haut\, Matinicus\, and Monhegan by creating collaborative educational and social opportunities for students across islands via technology and face-to-face learning opportunities. \n“The Art of Memory” was made possible through the generous support of the Helen & George Ladd Charitable Corporation\, the Expansion Arts Fund ofthe Maine \nCommunity Foundation\, and the Maine Arts Commission\, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. \nFor more information regarding the film\, visit www.figures.org/memory. To find out about similar educational and artistic opportunities\, contact Ian Bannon of Figures of Speech Theatre at (207) 865-6355 or ianbannon@figures.org.

SUMMARY:The Maribor Uprisings: Interactive Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Maribor Uprisings takes up urgent questions raised by these events\, and by uprisings elsewhere\, from the Arab Spring\, through Paris\, to Black Lives Matter. What sparks such popular outrage? How are participants swept up in—and then changed by—confrontations with police? Could something like this happen in your city? \nThe directors invite audiences to engage these questions through an unusual and participatory form. Drawing on the dramatic frontline footage of a video activist collective embedded within the uprisings\, this film places viewers amidst the jostling crowds. It requires them to make their own choices about which cameras they will follow and therefore how they will participate. Like those who joined the actual uprisings\, audiences in the theater must decide whether to listen to organizers and remain with those committed to nonviolent protest on Freedom Square or to follow rowdy crowds toward City Hall and almost certain conflict. \nCo-director Maple Razsa (Colby College) will facilitate the screening. \n‘‘Using organizational tactics such as the ones implemented during the Occupy Wall Street protests—the human microphone\, call and response\, etc—the audience works together to form a unit of politically and ideologically motivated action.’’ \nFor more information\, read the Portland Phoenix interview with Maple Razsa from July 2017: http://www.portlandphoenix.me/news/cover-story/item/6838-the-maribor-uprisings

SUMMARY:PMA Films: When We Were Kings
DESCRIPTION:A free outdoor screening of the 1996 Academy Award Winning documentary When We Were Kings. Co-Presented by the Portland Museum of Art. Film starts at dusk (approx 8pm). \nIn 1974\, boxers Muhammad Ali and George Foreman came to the still-emerging and politically unstable African nation of Zaire for what Ali called the “Rumble in the Jungle\,” a highly publicized world heavyweight championship fight. Documentarian Leon Gast flew to Zaire to film both the fight and a music festival (featuring B.B. King\, The Pointer Sisters\, and Miriam Makeba) organized by promoter Don King. Gast’s footage was shelved for 22 years due to legal and financial problems\, but when it was finally released in 1996\, When We Were Kings provided a vivid portrait of the controversial Ali. At 33\, he was considered past his prime for the Zaire fight\, and his refusal to serve in the U.S. military on moral grounds was still an issue in the minds of many. But here\, Ali displays strength\, skill\, intelligence\, and tremendous charm\, making it clear how he became one of the most renowned figures in the world of sports. And\, while George Foreman is best known today as a genial commercial pitchman\, he’s seen here as a strong\, forbidding opponent\, not especially articulate and seemingly unstoppable. The film also features interviews with several notable fight fans\, including Norman Mailer\, George Plimpton\, and Spike Lee. A fascinating document of a great moment in sporting and cultural history\, When We Were Kings received an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and won a Special Jury Recognition Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
