2016-05-10 12:30 - 13:30 (America/Denver) | Tattered Cover Book Store, 2526 East Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO, 80202, United States
Formed in the wake of World War II, the European Union was created to provide a unified trading bloc for Western Europe. As the EU has grown, it has faced obstacles to integration, such as the addition of Central and Eastern European countries and partial adoption of the euro. Now, years later, the EU faces economic and political threats from challenges arising from debt-laden member countries. Join Active Minds as we explore the historical roots of the formation of the EU as well as the economic and social issues that challenge its future.

Okpik’s Dream
Okpik’s Dream (director Laura Rietveld). Becoming a dog musher was Harry Okpik’s childhood dream, but during the Dog Slaughter in the 1960s, when government agents shot thousands of Inuit huskies across the Canadian Arctic, 11-year-old Harry thought his dream was forever destroyed. Twelve years later, after traumatic residential schooling, another personal tragedy struck when he suffered a shooting accident and the eventual loss of his leg. In this powerful documentary, filmed over the course of several seasons, Harry recounts the momentous events of his life, including the realization of his life-long dream of running a dog sled team in the 600-km Ivakkak race, and the challenge of passing on his knowledge to a younger generation. In Inuktitut and English. (Catbird Productions, 2015, 72 min.).
A discussion will follow the film.

The film focuses on aging actor Kamiyama Seiichi (played by Fukumoto Seizo), who specializes playing samurai who die in fight scenes, turning being dispatched into an artform. The Special VIP Opening Night will also feature traditional Japanese performances and demonstrations, Japanese food and refreshments. The film is being screened with the support of the Consulate General of Japan at Denver.
Click to the full schedule to see trailers for every film!
On Saturday, May 21, the festival continues with a Japanese animated feature screened by the Colorado Anime Fest. Following the film, children of all ages will have the opportunity to engage with Asian-related craft projects provided by the Denver Art Museum.
It’ll be “Documentary Sunday” on May 22, featuring Changing Season: On the Masumoto Family Farm, a documentary tribute to David “Mas” Masumoto, a 60-year-old Japanese American peach farmer, and his daughter Nikiko, who returns to work the family farm. The film weaves together the contemporary economic challenges of farming with the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII.
The weekend ends with filmmaker Grace Lee’s witty and culturally mouth-watering Off the Menu, which will leave viewers hungry with her fascinating look at how Asian cuisine has adapted to American tastes over the decades.
