SUMMARY:National Silent Movie Day: City Lights
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating National Silent Movie Day\, a free 16mm screening of Charlie Chaplin’s CITY LIGHTS\, presented in Congress Square Park with Portland Museum of Art\, projecting a 16mm print of the film. Wednesday\, September 29th at 6:30pm.\n\nCharles Chaplin was deep into production of his silent CITY LIGHTS when Hollywood was overwhelmed by the talkie revolution. After months of anguished contemplation\, Chaplin decided to finish the film as it began–in silence\, save for a musical score and an occasional sound effect. Once again cast as the Little Tramp\, Chaplin makes the acquaintance of a blind flower girl\, who through a series of coincidences has gotten the impression that the shabby tramp is a millionaire. A second storyline begins when the tramp rescues a genuine millionaire from committing suicide. When drunk\, the millionaire expansively treats the tramp as a friend and equal; when sober\, he doesn’t even recognize him. The two plots come together when the tramp attempts to raise enough money for the blind girl to have an eye operation. Highlights include an extended boxing sequence pitting scrawny Chaplin against muscle-bound Hank Mann\, and the poignant final scene in which the now-sighted flower girl sees her impoverished benefactor for the first time. Chaplin’s decision to release the silent CITY LIGHTS three years into the talkie era was partially vindicated when more than one critic singled out this “comedy in pantomime” as the best picture of 1931.

SUMMARY:T'ai Chi
DESCRIPTION:Free Tai Chi Chih/Qigong classes will be taught in Congress Square Park May through September. All classes will occur twice weekly — on Mondays from 9:30 until 10:30 am and Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am\, led by \nSara Leonard.\n\nOld pros and those who have just started practice\, as well as curious bystanders of all ages welcome!\nAlways FREE to the public.\n\n*What’s Tai Chi?*\nTai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that\, today\, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow\, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.\nA noncompetitive\, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching\, each posture flows into the next without pause\, ensuring that your body is in constant motion.\nTai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints\, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact\, because tai chi is a low-impact exercise\, it may be especially suitable if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.\n

SUMMARY:Salsa Night with Primo Cubano & PM Salsa
DESCRIPTION:Come to Congress Square Park from 5-8pm for a free evening of hopping music and salsa dance (lessons included!). Masks are strongly encouraged at these close-contact events. \nPM Salsa has been teaching for over 15 years. Come at 5pm to learn basic moves and enjoy an evening of social dance with music by Primo Cubano! \nPrimo Cubano will play traditional Cuban dance music called “SON\,” which dates back to the turn of the 20th Century. Son is the most popular style to come out of Cuba and is the primary contributor to the blend of Latin styles today known as Salsa.  It was first a music of the country people and eventually migrated to Havana\, where it was urbanized and began to draw a wider audience. \nPrimo Cubano interprets the classic Son Cubano with affinity\, appreciation and inspiration bringing this vibrant music to life for audiences in Maine and beyond.

SUMMARY:PMA Films Presents: "Time"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free outdoor screening of Garrett Bradley’s Oscar-nominated documentary Time\, presented in Congress Square Park Wednesday\, September 15 at 7 p.m. An introduction and reflections on the film presented by Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition begins at 6:30 p.m. \nFox Rich is a fighter. The entrepreneur\, abolitionist and mother of six boys has spent the last two decades campaigning for the release of her husband\, Rob G. Rich\, who is serving a 60-year sentence for a robbery they both committed in the early 90s in a moment of desperation. Combining the video diaries Fox has recorded for Rob over the years with intimate glimpses of her present-day life\, director Garrett Bradley paints a mesmerizing portrait of the resilience and radical love necessary to prevail over the endless separations of the country’s prison-industrial complex.
