Friday, August 13th, 2010
7:00pm
About the film: Kinshasa dreamed of simple things…a Mom and Dad, food on the table…but when her dreams fade she finds a reality not her own. Alone in a world that forgot about children and their dreams, she has to find the courage to discover her own destiny.
The Acorn Penny is a short film of hope. An artistic work that shines a light on a forgotten part of the world. A call to aid for the living and a remembrance of the 5.4 million people who have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Mineral Wars since 1998.

The Mountain Crumbles is a minimalist drama, centered around the relationship of two brothers – Gerry and Leon. After having not seen much of each other since childhood, Gerry and Leon are back in the town they grew up in, and decide to take the first step toward reconnecting over a weekend camping trip. Just as they begin to navigate their way out of the initial awkwardness of their new bond, the introduction of a mysterious young female backpacker begins to expose the more complicated urges of adulthood inside them. Set against the sweeping landscape of the Oregon wilderness, The Mountain Crumbles magnifies the little interactions between three people that ultimately build to defining realizations.
