The Diary of Anne Frank |

This CAST production, directed by Lynda Dallman, reveals the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic in Amsterdam, Holland, during the latter years of World War II.

as an important resource, and have been published nationally & internationally in some of world's most prestigious & respected media

| Mekong - Exploring the Mother of Waters |
| Wednesday, May 30 |
| 7:30 p.m. |
| |
In 2004 Portlander Brian Eustis chronicled the first-ever complete navigation
of the Mekong River from its source in Tibet, to the South China Sea.
The film vividly explores and celebrates the diverse cultures and environments of
the Mekong valley. The story also weaves in the tapestry of the impending
human-rights abuses committed throughout the region and the impact of
environmental degradation on the region's subsistence cultures. This film
was a finalist at the 2006 Banff Film Festival and was chosen to be a part of
the international tour. For more information visit. |
