Not just a choreographer, Elizabeth Streb is a wildly extreme action architect. Born to Fly traces the
evolution of Streb’s movement philosophy as she pushes herself and her dancers from the ground,
to the wall, to the sky. Guided by Streb’s theory of movement – to walk on walls, dive through glass, move so fast you disappear and…fly; the film asks: Can adrenaline be a form of medicine?
When does movement become art? Why be a part of it? How do race, gender, sexuality, and class
appear on the dancers’ performances, on their bodies? Wrestling these questions, Born to Fly offers
an exhilarating tale of the necessity of art, inspiring a broad audience, hungry for a more tactile and
fierce existence in the world.

Casting Agent Chris Freihofer will speak with Wes Studi and three actors in town to support the feature film Light from the Darkroom, Steven Michael Quezada, Lymari Nadal and Patricia De Leon, about acting on camera across different media and genres.
For 25 years Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) terrorized Northern Uganda. They abducted children and forced them to commit atrocities against their own families and communities. Girls as young as thirteen were degraded to sex slaves for Kony's officers. Now, the war is over, but the decades of brutal conflict have deeply scarred the people of Uganda. Child soldiers return to the very communities they committed violent crimes against, and the girls carry with them a constant reminder of their abuse: their captors' children. These girls and their children are often ostracized by their communities, and most lack the skills they need to provide for their families.Forest Whitaker tells the story of one woman's fight to bring hope back to her nation. Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe resides over Saint Monica's Vocational School in Gulu, Uganda. She lived through the horror created by Kony's LRA and now works to heal the wounds he inflicted on her people. She invites formerly abducted girls to Saint Monica's where they learn skills to provide for their families. Through vocational training, these young women gain independence. Through community with their fellow students, they find forgiveness. Through the restoration of their lost futures, they find hope.
