FRIDAY, APRIL 13
7PM
Corridor Four
81 Minutes / English / Documentary / United States
Directed by: Stephen Tringali
A nationally recognized K9 Unit Officer, Isaac Ho’opi’i is responsible for saving numerous people from the Pentagon during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Countless articles were written about his heroism following 9/11. He was photographed by Richard Avedon for a spread in USA Today. He appeared on NBC’s Today show. And he ran the Olympic Torch on its way to Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
CORRIDOR FOUR is a feature-length documentary that illustrates Isaac’s story in the aftermath of 9/11. After all the news cameras had turned off and all the lights had dimmed, Isaac was left only with the horrific images he had seen and the memory of those he was unable to save. His is a story not of a hero basking in the glory of his past deeds, but of a human being filled with regret that he couldn’t change something completely out of his control.
SATURDAY, APRIL 14
7PM
1987: When the Day Comes
129 Minutes / In Korean with English Subtitles / Drama / South Korea
Directed by: Joon-Hwan Jang
In 1987 Korea, under an oppressive military regime, a college student gets killed during a police interrogation involving torture. Government officials are quick to cover up the death and order the body to be cremated. A prosecutor who is supposed to sign the cremation release, raises questions about a 21-year-old kid dying of a heart attack, and he begins looking into the case for truth. Despite a systematic attempt to silence everyone involved in the case, the truth gets out, causing an eruption of public outrage.
SUNDAY, APRIL 15
2:30PM
Point of no Return
94 Minutes / English / Documentary / United States
Directed by: Kevin Glynn
Soaring at 26,000 feet without a drop of fuel, nothing is predictable. Not the weather, not the technology. And certainly not the fate of a man, alone for five days in a fragile, first-of-its-kind aircraft with nothing but ocean below. POINT OF NO RETURN takes you behind the headlines of the first solar-powered flight around the world – where two courageous pilots take turns battling nature, their own crew, and sometimes logic itself, to achieve the impossible. Not just to make history, but to inspire a revolution.
7PM
The Fortress
140 Minutes / In Korean with English Subtitles / Art House & International, Drama / South Korea
Directed by: Dong-hyuk Hwang
During the Qing Invasion of Korea, the king and the court take refuge in a mountain fortress, where they find themselves stranded in the cold and surrounded by the enemy. The king’s dilemma deepens as his people in the fortress start dying from cold and hunger.

The Seat of the Soul Yoga - Asiana Harper & Christine Miller
2018-04-14 06:00 - 2018-04-21 23:00 (America/Chicago)
THE SEAT OF THE SOUL YOGA RETREAT: AN ELEMENTAL PRACTICE OF PRESENCE
Awaken your senses through this experiential retreat, The Seat of the Soul: An elemental practice of presence. Over seven days, our journey will access the gateways of presence using yoga, breathwork, meditation and intrinsic movement. Allow the elements of this beautiful location in Chacala, Mexico, to stir the earth, water, fire, air and ether both within our bodies and all around us. This retreat is a fine blend of spiritual and somatic discovery that can reveal a place which is often called the seat of the soul, that point where our inner and outer experience meet.
Each day will begin with the ritual of movement and stillness, to anchor us in the tone of presence. Other activities such as hiking, swimming, dancing and fire ceremony will delve us deeper into synchronization with the biorhythms of nature. What might we find in the stirring of our watery hearts? Is our path determined by the flame of desire or the tread of connection from sole to earth? Together, we’ll explore these questions and so many more.
The Seat of the Soul is available to all levels of practitioners. This retreat will meet you exactly where you are as a supportive foundation to break through limiting beliefs, to intimately experience the mind-body connection and to provide tools to harness the most powerful portal in all experience: the power of the present moment.
INCLUDED
• 7 nights accommodations
• 3 meals a day

Berry Gordy offered Severin a staff songwriting deal just as Motown was moving to Hollywood. Six months later, Severin signed with Motown Records as an artist and made two LPs. Severin’s Moo Records title "From the Edge of the World” included songs used in the indie film "Plan B"
starring Jon Cryer, and in the Japanese classic “My Friend Totoro”. Severin’s next CDs, “This Twisted Road” and “Lucky Man”, were produced by Ed Tree. Severin teaches guitar and
songwriting at his home in Los Angeles and performs with The Tall Men Group. For more information see http://www.severinbrowne.com.
Marty Axelrod is the keyboardist member Tall Men Group, for whom he has written such fan favorites as “I Made Fire”, “9 Cats” and “The South”. Marty’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Judy Collins, folk legend Theodore Bikel, blues powerhouse Linda Hopkins, the country band Emerson Drive, and indie powerhouse Kelly Fitzgerald.
Marty’s songs have adorned the soundtracks of HBO’s “True Blood”, “Friday Night Lights”, and a truly terrible Patrick Swayze movie…but Mr. Swayze did dance to his song! Marty is proud to
have produced and co-written, with Nicole Gordon, the critically-acclaimed concept album “Songs of Shiloh”. He also wrote the songs for “Emperor Norton the Musical”, which had four
successful runs in San Francisco and Los Angeles. As a keyboardist, Marty has recently lent his stylings to records by Leslie Beauvais, Jaynee Thorne, Laura Zucker and Britta Lee Shain, and to live performances by Allan Rich, Theater

Through taking quantum sonic leaps, the quintet—Kellin Quinn [vocals, keyboards], Jack Fowler [lead guitar], Nick Martin [rhythm guitar], Justin Hills [bass], and Gabe Barham [drums]—reach the artistic heights they began angling for nearly 10 years ago, while amplifying musical hallmarks such as soaring and soul-striking vocals, wildly catchy riffing, and intricate beats.
At its heart, the record reflects not only creative progression, but personal as well…
“The story of Gossip really begins in me transitioning from a boy to a man,” admits Kellin. “I grew up basically my entire life playing music in this group. This record is me figuring out who I’m supposed to be as a musician, a husband, and a father. It’s a hard, scary, rewarding, and daring process that gets chronicled in the lyrics. Musically, I feel like it’s the first Sirens record that sounds specifically like us. We took chances, experimented, and continued to do what we do best: create art. It’s something new. It has an authentic sound that we’ve been working towards all this time.”
When it comes to alternative music, the boys have quietly pushed the envelope since the release of their 2010 debut, With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear. Along the way, Sleeping With Sirens’ delicate one-two punch of towering melodies and tight musicality galvanized a diehard fan base dubbed “Strays” as they sold a staggering total of 1.5 million albums worldwide. 2013’s Feel bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and boasted a standout collaboration with MGK entitled “Alone.” Its 2015 follow-up Madness went Top 15 and earned unanimous acclaim with The New York Times praising how it, “blends tender and anguished in equal measure.” Along the way, Alternative Press named them 2014 “Artist of the Year” at the Alternative Press Music Awards, awarded “Kick Me” the 2015 “Song of the Year”, and touted them on its cover six times. They’ve graced the main stages of Warped Tour, Reading & Leeds, and more in addition to Kellin duetting with Pierce The Veil on the gold-certified “King For A Day.” After a whirlwind 2016, the guys hunkered down in January 2017 and commenced work on what would become Gossip for the next six months.
The sessions earmarked a few firsts for Sleeping With Sirens. It’s the first time that they recorded in multiple states, working everywhere from Los Angeles and Nashville to New Jersey. It’s also the first time they collaborated with producer David Bendeth [Paramore, All Time Low]. Often tackling one vocal or guitar part for eight hours straight, the musicians meticulously tapped into what Kellin dubs an “Electric” energy.
“We finally captured the live experience with Bendeth,” says the frontman. “We have the production, but there’s a rawness that comes through. David is very old school. He really pushed us, and we pushed ourselves. We realized what we could do as artists, and we evolved.”
That growth shines through the first single “Legends.” Piano and drums resound as Kellin empoweringly chants, “We could be legends after all.” It’s a triumphant call-to-arms bolstered by swells of hulking hooks and guitar.
