Filmmakers and speakers will participate in post-film audience discussions at each film screening.

May 3 • Four Sheets to the Wind (2007, 91 minutes) - A Sundance favorite! A Seminole-Creek man fulfills his father's dying wish and leaves the reservation in search of a more fulfilling life in the city. A special screening of youth films from the Native Lens program precedes the film. Post-film discussion with local urban Indian leaders.
May 4 • Third Ward TX (2007, 57 minutes) - Artists-turned-activists stave off gentrification through public art in a besieged black neighborhood. With special appearance by Rick Lowe, founder of Project Row Houses and arts planner for the downtown Seattle Public Library.

Percy L. Manser: Grandeur and Light - Goldendale
May through July 6 • Maryhill Museum of Art • 35 Maryhill Museum Drive
Percy Manser (1886-1973), an outstanding regionalist of his day, lived and worked in Hood River, Oregon between 1917 and his death in 1973. Born and educated in England, he moved to the Hood River Valley by way of Canada to become a fruit farmer. Inspired by the grandeur of the mountains and valleys of the region he began to paint landscapes that were widely popular with residents throughout the Columbia River Gorge. Today his work is still admired and can be found in private and public collections, including the Portland Art Museum, Oregon Historical Society, and Maryhill Museum of Art. 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the first solo exhibition of his work at Maryhill and the museum is commemorating it with a retrospective of the artist’s work that includes more than 40 paintings, photographs and document
