The Gheorghius, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple (Sebastian Stan & Renate Reinsve), resettle in a village set in a distant fjord where they become close to their neighbors, the Halbergs.

When adolescent Elia Gheorghiu shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community asks itself if the traditional education that the Gheorghiu children get from their parents would have anything to do with it.

SPECIAL SCREENING EVENT
Montana-based Adventurer/Activist/Filmmaker
ROBERT LESTER
Presents his latest documentary
ROADLESS

Wednesday, NOV 4th | 6:30 pm

Q&A with director Robert Lester follows film.

TICKETS Available soon!

ROADLESS follows three adventurers -- Robert Lester, Ben Kaden, Bill Craig -- as they set out on foot in the Alaskan wilderness. Their goal: to follow the 211-mile length of the proposed Ambler Mining Road. Crossing vast tundra, wild rivers, and pristine forests, the team brings audiences directly into one of the most remote and ecologically intact landscapes in North America.

160 miles north of the Arctic Circle; as the miles accumulate, so do the challenges—injuries, exhaustion, hunger, relentless mosquitoes, and the harsh reality of traveling challenging terrain without roads or trails. But the team also reveals a landscape few people will ever experience firsthand. Encounters with wildlife, experiencing 24-hour sunlight, and the vast Arctic ecosystem offer a glimpse into a remarkable environment that has remained untouched by human development.

ROADLESS takes viewers on an adventure of endurance, and natural beauty while exploring what could be lost if the Ambler Road is built.

Robert Lester visited Spokane & Magic Lantern in March 2025, with his film COLUMBIA RIVER CANOE PROJECT.

About the Film:

Gaza Is Our Home is a deeply personal documentary by Palestinian-American filmmaker Monear Shaer, created from footage of his own family in Gaza before and during the ongoing violence. What began as a collection of photos and videos became an urgent act of preservation—a way to honor family memory, everyday life, love, and loss amid the destruction of home and community.

The film invites audiences to see Gaza not as an abstract conflict zone or a collection of statistics, but as a lived home filled with relationships, history, joy, and grief. It is a declaration of presence: a reminder that the people of Gaza deserve to be seen, remembered, and heard.

About the Director:

Monear Shaer is a Palestinian-American filmmaker, impact organizer, and public speaker whose work centers on memory, displacement, and the humanity of communities too often reduced to headlines and statistics. His debut feature documentary, Gaza Is Our Home, grew from personal family footage into an urgent act of preservation, bringing audiences closer to the lives, memories, and experiences of his family in Gaza. Through independently organizing screenings and community conversations across the United States, Monear creates opportunities for people to connect with Palestinian stories beyond the headlines.

Following the finale of his acclaimed HBO series "How To with John Wilson", NYC documentarian John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to tell this seemingly drab story and increase his movie's appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble--literally and figuratively--as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.
