From the Director

Dear Friends,

Through this bounty of rich and illuminating films, we offer you a place to look at the world, make sense of it, understand the past and look toward a hopeful future.

Our filmmakers insist that we "see" ourselves and "see" the world through diverse lenses. In their finely etched cinematic work, which becomes a kind of poetry, they tell the stories of humanity at its best and at its worst. At the same time, they bring to us their unflinching reassurance that there is compassion and humor in this imperfect world. And, in fresh new work by young filmmakers, we are assured of the human potential for creativity and replenishment. We bring you to a place to find some answers, ask some questions and often to encounter the heroes of our own time or in a time past.

In every season, we look to our artists to help us express our emotions, clarify our issues, make sense of what we know or want to know. This season is no exception as we celebrate and uplift humanity through art.

Miriam Morsel Nathan
