AfroHORN
Run time: 90 minutes; *Please note the special start time The AfroHORN project was conceived by Francisco Mora-Catlett in Sun Ra's home, during Francisco's tenure with the Arkestra in the 1970s after reading Henry Dumas' short story, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" The metaphor at the center of Dumas' short story is the Afro Horn, an instrument so mythically potent that it simultaneously unites and empowers. Francisco Mora-Catlett and his New York-based jazz ensemble, draws from the metaphor of the Afro Horn. An imperative to explore, intone, and celebrate African derived cultures and their expressive, artistic,and political possibilities. Learn more.

Reaching for the Moon
Presented by ReelQ Film Festival
Run time: 118 minutes Reaching for the Moon (directed by Bruno Barretto) is an intimate snapshot of the search for inspiration, wherever and however you find it. This sumptuous English-language 1950s period piece recounts the mid-life years of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop (played by Mirando Otto, Lord of the Rings), when she left America to live and write in Rio de Janiero. In Brazil, Bishop falls in love with well-off architect Lota de Macedo Soares. Initial hostilities between the pair make way for a complicated, yet long-lasting love affair that dramatically alters Bishop's relationship to the world around her.
