Upcoming NIRV Screenings & Discussions in Minnesota and Ohio

October 22, 2018

Join us at one of the Screen & Discuss events listed below.  

If you are in the vicinity we invite you to join us for one of the following New Immigrant and Refugee Visions (NIRV) Screen & Discuss events.

A selection of NIRV short films will be screened that provide an insider perspective on the integration challenges faced by immigrants and the contributions they make to our culture, economy and social fabric.

Project director Michael Sheridan will provide a brief introduction to the filmmaking process during the screening. Following, the audience will discuss their reactions to the stories with the aim of increasing understanding across diverse opinions and backgrounds.

NOTE: “Public welcome by invitation” events are open to the public but require an invitation due to restricted facility access and/or meal planning. Contact Us and we will make arrangements for you.

Please help us organize additional screenings

We are working on scheduling Screen & Discuss events in four states in October: Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas. To see why we selected these states first, see our Target City Strategy. If you have connections that can help us organize a screening, please contact Caryn via our contact page.

Looking ahead, we plan to focus on Southern California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and the Washington, DC area, but we encourage you to organize a screening wherever there is a need for greater understanding and community conversation about immigrants.

In order to help these unique insider perspectives on a wide range of immigrant and refugee experiences to reach as many people as possible, we need your help. Please consider making a donation to CSFilm to strengthen this work.

After Afghanistan fell to the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans made their way to the United States. They were allowed to stay under a program called “humanitarian parole.” But that status expires in a couple of months, and although they can renew one time, many are calling for Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would allow them to seek more permanent status.
