SUMMARY:For Kids ages 4-8: Leslie Crawford Presents Sprig the Rescue Pig
DESCRIPTION:For Kids ages 4-8 Leslie Crawford\n\n\n\n\nPresents Sprig the Rescue Pig\, inspired by the true story of a feisty swine who escapes a delivery truck and ends up at an animal sanctuary\, this gently humorous tale introduces kids to an intelligent\, inquisitive\, and very appealing pig. \n“May Sprig help people to see what wonderful individuals pigs truly are.”–Sy Montgomery\, author of The Good Good Pig\, Tamed & Untamed\, and The Soul of an Octopus \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Sprig the Rescue Pig by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, June 23\, 2018 – 4:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\nThings aren’t looking good for Sprig\, who is packed into a fast-moving truck with dozens of other pigs. He doesn’t know where they’re going but his nose knows there’s something better out there. \nSo with one dramatic leap\, or really more of a tumble\, Sprig sets out on a pig-centered adventure that leads him to his new best friend\, a girl named Rory. Inspired by true events\, this light-hearted tale introduces kids to an intelligent and inquisitive pig who finds his way to an animal sanctuary. \nThe book includes a bonus section called “More About Pigs\,” where curious readers will learn that pigs are smart enough to play video games\, enjoy sleeping in cozy pig piles\, run really fast\, and other amazing facts. \nA journalist and editor for more than twenty years\, Leslie Crawford has primarily written about health and education. It was thanks to her 12-year-old daughter Molly\, who has never met an animal she doesn’t like\, that Leslie developed an interest in writing about animals. Crawford lives in San Francisco with her two children\, six chickens\, five foster pigeons\, and a bearded dragon lizard named Georgia.

SUMMARY:Frameline42: San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:June 14-24\n\nFor more info and to purchase\nElmwood tickets click HERE \nSan Francisco International LGBT Film Festival showcases the best queer cinema from around the globe! The festival runs June 14-24 and will be at the Elmwood June 17-21. \nThe Heiresses(Las herederas)\nParaguay\, Germany\, Uruguay\, 2018\, 95 min\nChela and Chiquita have lived together for decades in fading elegance\, sharing Chela’s childhood home in Asuncion\, Paraguay. Forceful Chiquita manages practical matters\, while reclusive Chela stays in and paints. When mounting money troubles force Chiquita to start selling off family treasures\, Chela clings to her tattered dignity and proudly refuses financial help from friends. But this carefully observed tale about social status takes a dramatic turn when Chiquita is sent to prison for covering up their debts. Chela is forced to reconsider her notions of class by going to work-at first hesitantly\, offering rides to her elderly (and judgmental) wealthy friends despite her discomfort behind the wheel\, and then more confidently\, starting a kind of private taxi service. It is a journey that will take her down exciting new avenues of independence\, and into thrilling contact with young and beautiful Angy\, who encourages her freedom-and a lot more.\nSunday\, June 17 7pm ♿ \nPost Cards From London\nUK\, 2018\, 88 min\nOn his first night out in London after escaping his provincial hometown\, Jim is robbed and left with nothing\, alone on the neon-lit streets of Soho. Fortunately\, he is just what the Raconteurs have been looking for. A coterie of dapper young hustlers\, the Raconteurs are immediately taken with Jim’s ethereal beauty and charming naivete\, and they adopt him as one of their own. The merry band of escorts is soon schooling Jim in the sexy delights of their specialty: using their encyclopedic knowledge of art history to bring to life the homoerotic paintings of Caravaggio\, Botticelli\, and Michelangelo. As Jim becomes more comfortable in his skin under the tutelage of the Raconteurs\, he finds himself submerged in the world of art\, becoming a muse to his patrons and customers\, even while discovering that he suffers from an overwhelming sensitivity to beauty-the legendary Stendhal syndrome.\nSunday\, June 17 9:30pm ♿ \nLife in the Doghouse\nUSA\, 2018\, 80 min\nAttention dog lovers! Are you an admirer of absorbing\, inspirational documentaries? Do you crave a positive story in a world turned upside down? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Life in the Doghouse is the flick for you. Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta\, a loving couple for 30 years\, are the compassionate\, committed owners of Danny & Ron’s Rescue. With huge hearts and magical Dr. Doolittle energy\, these kindhearted men take care of anywhere from 50-70 dogs at once in their South Carolina home. In 2005\, the couple rescued 600 dogs after Hurricane Katrina\, and have since saved more than 9\,000 abandoned dogs from being euthanized\, and instead found them new forever homes. This fascinating film takes us behind the scenes of this well-oiled doggy domicile. Filmmaker Ron Davis (Pageant\, Frameline32) does an expert job of capturing the day-to-day life of these everyday heroes as they run never-ending laundry cycles\, prep custom food for hungry hounds\, and provide personalized love for each and every animal. We also learn about two men who have faced intense life challenges and found strength in their commitment to each other-and the animals that have changed their lives.\nMonday\, June 18 7pm ♿ \nFish Bones\nUSA\, 2018\, 80 min\nCollege student Hana is beautiful\, brainy\, and conflicted. A Korean immigrant on winter break in New York City\, she’s drawn to music producer Nico but finds herself torn between her family’s expectations and her own dreams and desires. Should she pursue a modeling career (despite her mother’s belief that modeling equals sex work)\, or continue her studies while moonlighting as a waitress? Her growing attraction to Nico only adds to her guilt and confusion. Unlike Nico\, who is accepted by her family and comfortable in her skin\, Hana must live a double life\, keeping both her modeling aspirations and her budding relationship a tightly held secret. Director Joanne Mony Park’s first feature is a kaleidoscope of non-linear moments that reflect Hana’s inner mindscape\, weaving color-drenched images with an equally evocative soundtrack\, which features Hercules & Love Affair and Nicolas Jaar.\nMonday\, June 18 9:30pm ♿ \nBixa Travesty\nBrazil\, 2018\, 75 min\nWinner of the Teddy Award for Best Documentary at the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival\, Bixa Travesty dazzlingly showcases the life and political artistry of Linn da Quebrada\, an electrifying performer from the outskirts of Sao Paulo\, whose daring and powerful performance style matches her social message of resistance and inclusion. A black transwoman (who refers to herself as a bixa travesty-“tranny fag”-by way of reclaiming those words)\, da Quebrada uses singing\, rap\, dance\, spoken word\, and other media to give a voice to queer people of color from Brazil’s favelas. Accompanied by her childhood friend and performance collaborator\, singer Jup do Bairro\, who is also trans\, she creates provocative\, high-energy performance pieces that celebrate and explore gender and sexuality while confronting the oppressive machismo of the country’s music scene.\nTuesday\, June 19 7pm ♿ \nSkate Kitchen\nUSA\, 2018\, 106 min\nAfter making a splash in 2015 with the documentary The Wolfpack\, winner of a Grand Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival\, director Crystal Moselle breaks into narrative cinema with the sensational Skate Kitchen. Moselle uses a mostly non-professional cast-outside of musical phenom Jaden Smith-to populate this coming-of-age tale\, which she based on the lives of real-life Skate Kitchen girls she met on a train (many of whom she featured in her 2016 short That One Day). In Skate Kitchen\, we’re offered a beautiful\, queer-inclusive glimpse into the subculture of female skateboarding\, a subculture whose popularity never seems to die out with new generations.\nTuesday\, June 19 9:30pm ♿ \nRealness & Revelations Shorts Program\nVarious\, 94 min\nThese enriching shorts showcase the stories and experiences of queer and trans folks of color. Celebrating trailblazers\, queer resilience\, and the beauty of dance\, these films feature QTPOC folks forging toward truth and equality.\nWednesday\, June 20 7pm ♿ \nSnapshots\nUSA\, 2018\, 94 min\nThree generations of women come together for a weekend at the family’s lakeside home outside St. Louis\, and while fishing and Scrabble are intentionally on the menu\, secrets both new and long-held turn out to be the main course.\nWednesday\, June 20 9:30pm ♿ \nMan Made\nUSA\, 2017\, 88 min\nFour men strive for victory in this intimate documentary about men’s relationships to body and self as they prepare for the Trans FitCon Bodybuilding Competition-the only all-transgender bodybuilding competition in the world.\nThursday\, June 21 7pm ♿ \nAnchor and Hope (Tierra Firme)\nSpain\, 2017 \, 111 min\nKat and her girlfriend Eva live in bohemian bliss on their London barge\, floating to a new mooring every couple weeks. Kat (Game of Thrones’ Natalia Tena\, here divinely channeling Shane from The L Word) is content with the status quo\, but Eva (fellow Game of Thrones star Oona Chaplin) wants a baby. The fortuitous arrival of Kat’s straight pal Roger\, in addition to too much tequila\, conquers Kat’s doubts-at least momentarily. Anchor and Hope starts as a raucous\, ribald comedy of manners and becomes more thoughtful without ever losing its deft touch.\nThursday\, June 21 9:30pm ♿

SUMMARY:Great Stage on Screen: Kiss Me Kate
DESCRIPTION:music and lyrics by Cole Porter\nbook by Samuel and Bella Spewack\nloosely based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew \ndirected by Michael Blakemore\nstarring Rachel York and Brent Barrett \nThe Showmance Must Go On! Cole Porter’s beloved classic receives “Another Op’nin\, Another Show”\, in this masterful 2001 London revival of the Tony Award winning musical Kiss Me\, Kate starring Rachel York and Brent Barrett! When the egotistical Fred Graham mounts a musical adaptation of The Taming of The Shrew (with himself as director\, producer\, and star) he’s got the perfect leading lady in mind: his movie star ex-wife! The fireworks both onstage and off between the two seem destined to explode the entire production…or will a romantic flame that’s Too Darn Hot be rekindled? With backstage shenanigans\, gangsters brushing up their Shakespeare\, and a collection of Porter tunes that any Tom\, Dick\, or Harry will love\, Kiss Me\, Kate remains an all-time favorite of musical fans from Padua to Peoria. Captured live from the Victoria Palace Theatre\, London.

SUMMARY:Poets Jane Gregory & Claire Marie Stancek Reading from their recent respective volumes Yeah No and Oil Spell\, and introduced by Lyn Hejinian.
DESCRIPTION:Jane Gregory’s mystifying second collection begins with a “Knock knock\,” inviting the reader into a realm where “Everything is a pattern / of yesses and no.” Within these pages we find Gregory constructing a multivalent world—ripe with struggle\, prophecy\, and\, by the end\, a resemblance of hope. Using her highly-tuned sensibility throughout\, Gregory guides us through the anxieties of this journey by inventing new and enigmatic forms filled with sonic experimentation and polyphony.\n\n\nJane Gregory is from Tucson and lives in Oakland. Her first book\, My Enemies\, was published in 2013. She is co-founder and co-editor\, with Lyn Hejinian and Claire Marie Stancek\, of Nion Editions\, a chapbook press. She recently completed her PhD in English at UC Berkeley. \nClaire Marie Stancek’s Oil Spell gathers many of today’s dark energies—US drone strikes\, environmental disaster—and asks: what kind of tool is poetry to mirror these violences? The poems here are counter-conjurations\, but they also query whether poetry itself might be a violent entrance of language into the world. Oil Spell animates diverse influences—Dorothy Wordsworth’s journals\, environmental reports of extinction and endangerment\, and the Pakistani government assessments of drone strikes. The poems do not attempt to negotiate or domesticate this diversity\, but ask what function poetry might have alongside these various performative linguistic functions. While poetry appears to have a dark function in these connections\, Oil Spell also asks whether we might invest language with the capacity to conjure towards other possibilities. Oil Spell performs the ways in which narratives of loss and narratives of everyday joy curl into one another and mutually contaminate. The beauty that results is a troubled reflection\, like a rainbow in a slick of oil. \nClaire Marie Stancek is also the author of Mouths. With Lyn Hejinian and Jane Gregory\, she edits Nion Editions\, a chapbook press. She has recently completed a PhD in English at UC Berkeley\, where she teaches classes on literature and creative writing. Originally from outside Toronto\, Ontario\, she now lives in Berkeley. \nPoet\, essayist\, translator\, and publisher Lyn Hejinian teaches at UC Berkeley.

DESCRIPTION:Nimona meets Adventure Time in this full-color graphic novel as a singing skeleton continues to search for his origins alongside his gelatin monster sidekick! \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, July 29\, 2018 – 3:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\nRickety Stitch is a walking\, talking\, singing skeleton minstrel\, the only animated skeleton in the dungeon who seems to have retained his soul. He has no idea who he used to be when he was covered in a living\, breathing sack of meat and skin. His only clue to his former identity is a song he hears snippets of in his dreams\, an epic bard’s tale that could also explain the old fog covering the comical fantasy land of Eem…Oh\, and his sidekick and only friend is a cube of sentient goo. \nIn this pulse-pounding second volume\, Rickety runs afoul of reanimated beasts\, giant spiders\, and a caravan of rowdy raiders on his quest to uncover the secret of Epoli and learn his true origins. \nJames Parks is a speculative fiction writer and graphic novelist living in the Bay Area. He was weaned on monster flicks\, ghostbusting\, lightsaber duels\, samurai cinema\, and comics–with a sober dose of Victorian literature and ’80s cartoons. Parks is also the author of the southern gothic horror collection The Gospel of Bucky Dennis\, was a staff writer for Campfire Graphic Novels\, and is a member of the Horror Writers Association.

SUMMARY:Andrew Lawler presents The Secret Token: Myth\, Obsession\, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lawler presents The Secret Token: Myth\, Obsession\, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke\, a sweeping account of America’s oldest unsolved mystery\, the people racing to unearth its answer\, and the sobering truths–about race\, gender\, and immigration–exposed by the Lost Colony of Roanoke. \n\n\n\n\n“A fascinating account of one of our country’s great historical mysteries. Fast-paced and wonderfully written\, with plenty of surprising turns along the way\, The Secret Token is a delight.”–Nathaniel Philbrick \nTo reserve your seat in advance\, purchae a copy of The Secret Token by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1587\, 115 men\, women\, and children arrived at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. Chartered by Queen Elizabeth I\, their colony was to establish England’s first foothold in the New World. But when the colony’s leader\, John White\, returned to Roanoke from a resupply mission\, his settlers were nowhere to be found. They left behind only a single clue–a “secret token” carved into a tree. Neither White nor any other European laid eyes on the colonists again. \nWhat happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? For four hundred years\, that question has consumed historians and amateur sleuths\, leading only to dead ends and hoaxes. But after a chance encounter with a British archaeologist\, journalist Andrew Lawler discovered that solid answers to the mystery were within reach. He set out to unravel the enigma of the lost settlers\, accompanying competing researchers\, each hoping to be the first to solve its riddle. In the course of his journey\, Lawler encounters a host of characters obsessed with the colonists and their fate\, and he determines why the Lost Colony continues to haunt our national consciousness. \nThrilling and absorbing\, The Secret Token offers a new understanding not just of the first English settlement in the New World but of how its disappearance continues to define–and divide–America. \nAndrew Lawler is the author of the highly acclaimed Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?. He is a contributing writer for Science\, a contributing editor for Archaeology Magazine\, and has written for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, National Geographic\, Smithsonian\, and Slate.

SUMMARY:Thor Hanson Presents Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees
DESCRIPTION:Thor Hanson Presents Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees\, a natural and cultural history of the buzzing wee beasties that make the world go round. \n\n\n\n\n “A wondrous\, action-packed journey to discover the secret lives of bees\, flowers\, and the unconventional men and women who study them. This book really is the buzz about bees\, and it’s destined to become a natural history classic.”–Stephen Buchmann\, author of The Reason for Flowers\n\nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Buzz by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBees are like oxygen: ubiquitous\, essential\, and\, for the most part\, unseen. While we might overlook them\, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz\, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago\, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers\, miners\, leafcutters\, and masons\, bees have long been central to our harvests\, our mythologies\, and our very existence. They’ve given us sweetness and light\, the beauty of flowers\, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And\, alarmingly\, they are at risk of disappearing. \nAs informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee\, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you’ll never overlook them again. \nAuthor and biologist Thor Hanson is a Guggenheim Fellow\, a Switzer Environmental Fellow\, and winner of the John Burroughs Medal. His books include The Impenetrable Forest\, Feathers\, The Triumph of Seeds as well as the illustrated children’s favorite\, Bartholomew Quill. Honors for Thor’s writing include The Phi Beta Kappa Award and two Pacific Northwest Book Awards. Hanson lives with his wife and son on an island in the Pacific Northwest.

SUMMARY:Great Stage on Screen: Elaine Stritch At Liberty
DESCRIPTION:constructed by John Lahr\nreconstructed by Elaine Stritch\ndirected by George C. Wolfe \nElaine Stritch at Liberty\, the Broadway legend’s one-woman show\, triumphed in New York and won a 2002 Tony Award. This double-Emmy-winning recording was made when she later took London by storm. Stritch’s comic timing is impeccable and her anecdotes priceless as she talks and sings her way through fifty years in American theatre. From a disastrous date with Marlon Brando to blowing her chance of starring in The Golden Girls\, she is uncompromisingly honest in telling her own story and pulls no punches in recounting her struggle with drink. Sensational\, poignant and incredibly funny\, Elaine Stritch can still knock an audience dead. 2004 Primetime Emmy for Best Performance\, 2004 Primetime Emmy for Best Show. Captured live from London’s Old Vic.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Clarren reads from her debut novel\, Kickdown
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Clarren reads from her debut novel\, Kickdown\, a taut and moving novel of a family’s struggle to sustain their land when fracking comes to the contemporary American West. \n\n\n\n\n“Deep\, true\, achingly pure\, as stripped of glamour and pretense as the beautiful desolation it describes. With an unflinching eye for the unsettling political and environmental issues of our time\, Clarren captures perfectly the heartland of our country and the hearts of those whose old answers have suddenly failed them–they are all strangers to themselves\, full of wonder and worry\, wild impulses\, inarticulate feelings. Kickdown is what life sounds like when we give up the search for who we thought we were supposed to be\, and begin the search for our own true humanity.”–Karen Fisher\, author of A Sudden Country\, Finalist for the Pen/Faulkner Award \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Jackie Dunbar’s father dies\, she takes a leave from medical school and goes back to the family cattle ranch in Colorado to set affairs in order. But what she finds derails her: the Dunbar ranch is bankrupt\, her sister is having a nervous breakdown\, and the oil and gas industry has changed the landscape of this small western town both literally and figuratively\, tempting her to sell a gas lease to save the family land. \nThere is fencing to be repaired and calves to be born\, and no one–except Jackie herself–to take control. But then a gas well explodes in the neighboring ranch\, and the fallout sets off a chain of events that will strain trust\, sever old relationships\, and ignite new ones. \nKickdown is a tautly written novel about two sisters and the Iraq war veteran who steps in to help. It is a timeless and timely meditation on the grief wrought by death\, war\, and environmental destruction. Like Kent Haruf’s Plainsong or Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone\, this novel weaves together the threads of land\, family\, failure\, and perseverance to create a gritty tale about rural America. \nAward-winning journalist Rebecca Clarren has been writing about the rural West for nearly twenty years. Her journalism\, for which she has won the Hillman Prize and an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship\, has appeared in such magazines as MotherJones\, High Country News\, The Nation and Salon.com. Kickdown\, shortlisted for the PEN/Bellwether Prize\, is her first novel. She lives in Portland\, Oregon with her husband and two young sons.

SUMMARY:Young Adults 14 & up! Faith Gardner reads from The Second Life of Ava Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Eighteen-year-old Vera\, eager to start college and escape the celebrity her family has endured since her twin’s disappearance twelve years earlier\, finds her world turned upside-down again when Ava returns.\n\n\n\n\n\nAva’s disappearance was the crack in the Rivers family glacier. I wish I could explain to you how we were before\, but I can’t\, because the before is so filmy and shadowed with the after. \nThe after is all Vera remembers. When her twin sister\, Ava\, disappeared one Halloween night\, her childhood became a blur of theories\, tips\, and leads\, but never any answers. The case made headlines\, shocked Vera’s Northern California community\, and turned her family into tragic celebrities. \nNow\, at eighteen\, Vera is counting down the days until she starts her new life at college in Portland\, Oregon\, far away from the dark cloud she and family have lived under for twelve years. But all that changes when a girl shows up at the local hospital. \nHer name is Ava Rivers and she wants to go home. \nAva’s return begins to mend the fractures in the Rivers family. Vera and Ava’s estranged older brother returns. Vera reconnects with Max\, the sweet\, artistic boy from her childhood. Their parents smile again. But the questions remain: Where was Ava all these years? And who is she now? \nFaith Gardner is the author of the young adult novel Perdita. Her short fiction has been published in places like ZYZZYVA\, PANK and McSweeney’s online. She lives in the Bay Area.

SUMMARY:Daniel Mason reads from his magnificent new novel\, The Winter Soldier
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Mason reads from his magnificent new novel\, The Winter Soldier\, a sweeping\, unforgettable love story of a young doctor and nurse at a remote field hospital in the First World War. \n\n\n\n\nVienna\, 1914. Lucius is a twenty-two-year-old medical student when World War I explodes across Europe. Enraptured by romantic tales of battlefield surgery\, he enlists\, expecting a position at a well-organized field hospital. But when he arrives–at a commandeered church tucked away high in a remote valley of the Carpathian Mountains–he discovers a freezing outpost ravaged by typhus. The other doctors have fled\, and only a single mysterious nurse named Sister Margarete remains.\nBut Lucius has never lifted a surgeon’s scalpel. And as the war rages across the winter landscape\, he finds himself falling in love with the woman from whom he must learn a brutal makeshift medicine. Then one day\, an unconscious soldier is brought in from the snow\, his uniform stuffed with strange drawings. He seems beyond rescue\, until Lucius makes a fateful decision that will change the lives of doctor\, patient\, and nurse forever. \nFrom the gilded ballrooms of Imperial Vienna to the frozen forests of the Eastern Front; from hardscrabble operating rooms to battlefields thundering with Cossack cavalry\, The Winter Soldier is a story of war and medicine\, of family\, of finding love in the sweeping tides of history\, and finally\, of the mistakes we make and the precious opportunities to atone. \n\nI have been a Daniel Mason fan since The Piano Tuner. His abilities as a storyteller and a writer of the most gorgeous prose leave you wanting more. The Winter Soldier is a tour de force. I was immersed in the grandeur of Imperial Vienna and the frozen battlefields of the Eastern Front\, and in this beautiful tale of love and war\, and of our frailty and resilience in the face of both.”–Abraham Verghese\, author of Cutting for Stone \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Winter Soldier by speaking to a bookseller or ordering via our website. \n\nDaniel Mason is a physician and author of the novels The Piano Tuner and A Far Country. His work has been translated into twenty-eight languages and adapted for opera and theater. A recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts\, he is currently a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Stanford University\, where he teaches courses in the humanities and medicine. He lives in the Bay Area with his family.
