SUMMARY:The War Shirt: A Dialogue with the Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Michael Downey\, a participant in PPF’s Lavender Elders group\, collaborated with filmmaker Rod Lathim to produce a film that explores the backstory of creating the play The War Shirt. The new documentary The War Shirt: A Dialogue With the Ancestors screens at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday\, September 19th at The Marjorie Luke Theatre. It explores the guidance of ancestral messages from African and Native American cultures in the creation of the play and this film. A panel discussion follows. Admission is free but reservations are required! To reserve your ticket\, visit www.LukeTheatre.org/Ticket-Reservation. The Film is Open Captioned and discussion interpreted in Sign Language.  \nThe seed for the creation of this 45-minute documentary was planted in 2022\, when Santa Barbara based actor-dancer Michael Downey wrote and performed a one-person play titled The War Shirt. His story explored his circumstances as a gay man\, his relationship with a disapproving father\, and the reconciliation that occurred hours before his father’s passing. Downey sensed that something larger had been set in motion that needed to continue beyond the play to fulfill itself. The War Shirt: A Dialogue With the Ancestors is the result. It is a documentary that brings new light to various historical and cultural events that were suggested but not explored in his original script. \nVarious Downey ancestors were born into slavery\, and the documentary examines the horrors of the Middle Passage—that trans-Atlantic voyage that carried millions of captives from West Africa to the North American continent. The film is particularly focused on the continuing influence of those African ancestors and the significance of honoring them. \nDirector/Producer Rod Lathim views both the play The War Shirt and this documentary as a direct results of intangible influences that he feels are guiding and impacting events in our physical world. Lathim asserts that these influences enhanced his intuitive sense as a director and illuminated the development of the play script and subsequent documentary. Both Downey and Lathim acknowledge a guiding presence of African and Native American Ancestors and felt strongly that this film needed to be made to celebrate and honor them. \nThe film includes perspectives that draw from American Indian belief systems and South African Zulu healing practices. Featured personalities include Dr. Jeanne Eder\, a Dakota Sioux and adopted member of the Crow tribe\, Dr. David Cumes\, a South African surgeon and Sangoma practitioner\, Davies King\, UCSB Distinguished Professor of Theater/Dance\, and Aaron Jones\, Director of UCSB’s Educational Opportunity Program and a former participant in an interfaith pilgrimage that traced the trans-Atlantic transport of West African captives to the Western Hemisphere. These various cultural points of view speak to Downey’s continuing journey into self-discovery and suggest a doorway of possibility that is open to the rest of us as well whenever we choose to embrace our own histories and inevitably uncover the timeless bonds that connect our lives to others. \nThe film is generously sponsored by the SBCC Foundation\, Michael Downey\, Claude Raffin\, Marjorie Luke Theatre\, and Pacific Pride Foundation.

SUMMARY:Citizen McCaw
DESCRIPTION:Citizen McCaw\, the prescient and acclaimed 2008 documentary that chronicles the heartbreaking and heedless destruction of Santa Barbara’s historic daily newspaper\, will return for a free\, one-time public screening at The Marjorie Luke Theatre\, Wednesday\, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. \nThe film focuses on the dramatic events of 2006-07 that stunned the community and set in motion the slow decline and inexorable death of the once-vibrant Santa Barbara News-Press\, now in bankruptcy proceedings. While presaging an era of vast economic disruption for the newspaper industry\, the documentary most importantly tells the sad\, shameful and uniquely local story of how an enterprise was destroyed\, after serving Santa Barbara\, for a century-and-a-half\, as a town square of shared and trusted public interest news and information.  \nThis free showing is underwritten by Newsmakers\, with support and permission from the film’s co-producers\, Rod Lathim\, Charles Minsky\, Peter Seaman\, Brent Sumner\, and Sam Tyler. It will be followed by a panel discussion about the future of local news. \nThe panelists include:\nJennifer Holt\, UCSB Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies and an expert on the changing media landscape\nSarah Sinclair\, Advertising Director of the Santa Barbara Independent\nGwyn Lurie\, Publisher of the Montecito Journal\nRyan P. Cruz\, journalist at the Santa Barbara Independent\nLily Dallow\, Digital Content Director of KEYT

SUMMARY:Dar Williams With Amy Ray Band
DESCRIPTION:PCINW Concerts Presents Dar Williams and Amy Ray Band! \nDar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues\, rock\, jazz)\, resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Williams strongly believes that all of us possess our own power and ability to achieve\, and she rejects the exceptionalism that encourages us to “admire that yonder star\,” while making us feel small and insignificant; unworthy of shining on our own but hoping to catch enough distant light to inspire some tiny accomplishment. \nPulling from every direction — Patty Griffin to Patti Smith\, Big Star to Bon Iver — Amy Ray’s music might best be described as folk-rock\, though even that would be a tough sell\, depending on the song. Ray’s musical beginnings trace back to her high school days in Atlanta\, Georgia\, when she and Emily Saliers formed the duo that would become the Indigo Girls. Rooted in shared passions for harmony and justice\, the Indigo Girls have forged a career that combines artistry and activism to push against every boundary and box anyone tries to put them in. As activists\, they have supported as many great causes as they can\, from LGBTQ+ rights to voter registration\, going so far as to co-found a Native environmental justice organization\, Honor the Earth\, with Winona LaDuke in 1993. As artists\, they have dipped their toes into a similar multitude of waters — folk\, rock\, country\, pop\, and more — but the resulting releases are always pure Indigo.

SUMMARY:¡Viva el Arte!: QUITAPENAS
DESCRIPTION:The ¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! season continues with QUITAPENAS! The band was formed around their shared love of dance rhythms from the Tropical Afro Latin diaspora. Quitapenas means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a “pena\,” and the mission of QUITAPENAS is simple: to make you dance and leave you without a worry. The group is made up of first generation sons of immigrant parents from Guatemala and Mexico. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s\, 70s\, and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and invites one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola\, Peru\, Colombia\, Brazil\, and beyond. \n

SUMMARY:Greetings From Summerland
DESCRIPTION:The Marjorie Luke Theatre is proud to announce a special screening event to kick off our 2024 Green Series and commemorate Earth Day. Join us for a screening of the film Greetings from Summerland: Birthplace of Offshore Drilling\, a thought-provoking documentary that sheds light on the environmental challenges facing Summerland and its leaking oil wellheads. If you reside in Santa Barbara County\, this is a must see film! \nDirected and produced by Harry Rabin and Joey Szalkiewicz of On the Wave Productions. Rabin\, who is also the Program Director at Heal the Ocean (HTO) has first handedly seen the urgent environmental issues facing Summerland\, CA. In 2017\, HTO tackled the daunting task of capping the leaking oil wellhead\, Becker. It is only one of over 200 offshore wellheads\, many of which have been leaking since 1896. \nWe are thrilled to work with local filmmakers to bring you Greetings From Summerland followed by a panel including the local filmmaker & politicians. The film reviews the history of the Summerland wells and looks at ongoing impacts through the eyes of those closest to the wells\, including Summerland artist Kerri Hedden and scientist and researcher Dr. Ira Leifer\, who was a project leader with the Summerland Oil Mitigation Study. Greetings From Summerland will take you back in time\, over 120 years\, to present day and how this seemingly endless local issue reveals a global Methane issue fueling climate change and the message that all need to be remediated now. \nA town hall discussion will follow immediately after the film with Filmmaker\, and Heal the Ocean representative Harry Rabin\, a panel of researchers\, State Lands representative\, Assemblyman Gregg Hart and representatives from both the offices of Salud Carbajal and Monique Limon. We will discuss what solutions both legislative and the field work and future plans are in the works for attacking the problem of leaking wellheads and the issues surrounding them. \nThis show will have a Sunkissed Pantry in the lobby\, before and after the event\, 3:30pm – 6:00pm. Additionally enjoy a Makers Mart with local environmentally friendly businesses showcasing their products! Film is 21 min. Panel estimated 1hr. Q&A for 20. \nTicket Sales link below!
