*“Afghan Voices in Terrible Times: Films and Filmmakers”
with Michael Sheridan & Afghan Filmmakers in Exile*
Afghan filmmakers in exile will speak to their trauma as well as their
country’s trauma since the fall of the country to the Taliban. They will
share films they made during Community Supported Films training and
mentoring project 2010-12 - in happier times. Michael Sheridan, CSFilm's
director will speak to the work of CSFilm to help evacuate and resettle
Afghans and what the community can do to help.
Filmmakers in exile who will join us are:
*Aqeela Rezai*, filmmaker and actress, currently a refugee in France
*Reza Sahel*, filmmaker and photographer, currently a refugee in Germany
*Jamal Aram*, filmmaker and author, CSFilm project coordinator and
translator,
former refugee now with citizenship in Canada
*• Michael Sheridan*is a member of Community Supported Film Director.
Community Supported Film (CSFilm) amplifies local voices in under- and
mis-represented communities so that they can effectively communicate
their lived realities through documentary film making. We believe that
if people learn about the world’s challenges from the local perspective
they will be better able to demand the right actions from their
governments and to support effective humanitarian responses.

*“Collective Power for Climate Justice”
with Scott Vlaun*
As the world faces the existential crisis of the climate emergency, it

organization within the context of a much larger climate action movement
in Maine.
*• Scott Vlaun*is the Director of the Center for an Ecology-Based
Economy (CEBE) in Norway, Maine and a founding board member of Maine
