Join us for a special screening of two local short films, Inheritance directed by Erin Lau and FINDING DOHI directed by Amber McClure. Both films explore humankind's longing for family, identity, and belonging. The contrasting styles of the two films form an interesting starting point for contemplation and dialogue.
