Hurricane Katrina left enormous devastation and displacement of humans and animals. Mine is a documentary about the bond between humans and animals, set against the backdrop of one of the worst natural disasters in modern U.S. history. It follows New Orleans residents in the daunting task of reuniting with lost animals who have been adopted by families all over the country --and the custody battles that arise when two families love the same pet. Mine examines the compassion of helpers, the agony of owners and the mixed reactions of adoptive families during and after Katrina. |

Summer International Film Series: The Drummer
|
|||
 |
Thursday, August 5 This program is generously sponsored by the Roswell Museum and Art Center Foundation.
|
Sid, the rebellious son of Kwan, a savage Hong Kong Triad boss, enrages his father’s adversary, a powerful underground business leader. Sid escapes to Taiwan and hides in the mountains, where he encounters a group of Zen drummers who pique his interest because of their mesmerizing art, rigorous training, and his own love of drumming. He joins the group and is gradually incorporated into their rituals and discipline. His personal discoveries in a peaceful and accepting setting are counterpointed with his father’s brutal life and the world of the underground. The film explores these contrasts and how he grapples with loyalties to his family and to his new way of life.

RAiR Opening Reception and Lecture: Larry Bob Phillips
|
|||
 |
Friday, August 6
|
Larry Bob Phillips draws with ink and brush to create large-scale drawings that can take over walls and create whole environments. His work seeks to bridge the gap between art history and recent trends in graphic design. In his artist lecture he will site developments in art history that triggered epiphanies and new directions in his own, seemingly unrelated works. A native of Amarillo, Texas, Phillips studied with Carl Kurts at the Kansas City Art Institute in the early 1990’s. He received an MFA degree from the University of New Mexico in 2006 where he taught before arriving in Roswell. |
