The September session will be led by local artist Sheryl Anaya. Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Bring a sketchbook and pencils. Attendance is limited, so early arrival is encouraged. A sign-up sheet is located at the information desk.

Participants must wear a mask.

Seadrift

In 1979, a Vietnamese refugee shoots and kills a white crab fisherman at the public town docks in Seadrift, TX. What began as a dispute over fishing territory erupts into violence and ignites a maelstrom of boat burnings, KKK intimidation, and other hostilities against Vietnamese refugees along the Gulf Coast. Set during the early days of Vietnamese refugee arrival in the U.S., Seadrift examines the shooting and its dramatic aftermath, and reveals the unexpected consequences that continue to reverberate today.

Asia

Becoming a mother at a very early age shaped Asia's relationship with her teenage daughter, Vika. Despite living together, Asia and Vika barely interact, but their routine is shaken when Vika's health deteriorates rapidly. Asia must step in and become the mother Vika so desperately needs. Vika's illness turns out to be an opportunity to reveal the great love within this small family unit.

London, 18th century. Casanova, famous for his taste for pleasure and gambling, arrives from Paris, forced into exile. In this city he knows nothing about, the libertine meets on several occasions a young courtesan, Marianne de Charpillon. She attracts him to the point that he starts disregarding all other women.

La Piscine

“Pretty people behaving poorly in beautiful settings is something we don't see as much of in cinema as we used to. This is a master class in the subgenre, and one of unusual depth.” Glenn Kenny, New York Times.
