During World War II, 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to neutral Sweden to keep them safe with foster families. After the death of his father, 9-year old Eero is sent to live with a family in Sweden. The film explores adjustments that he and his foster parents have to make and his conflict upon returning home. The film is subtly and beautifully edited.

Agatha owns a bookstore in Genoa that provides custom recommendations and solace for readers. One fan develops a relationship with Agatha, so passionate that she can cause lights to turn on and off. Her brother, Gustavo, an architect, discovers a secret that will turn his world upside down. The pastiche of characters and stories make this comic film a delight.

This film is based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. Garimara’s true story chronicles the 1931 forced removal of her mother and two other mixed-race Aboriginal girls from their families under an Australian ruling about “half caste children.” The film follows the girls as they run away from the Moore River Native Settlement north of Perth back to Jigalong, on the edge of the Gibson Desert in Western Australia where their Aboriginal families live. Pursued by white and Aboriginal trackers, they walk for nine weeks along 1,500 miles of a rabbit-proof fence. This is an amazing story.

Radio Sebastian—through team member and Roswell Artist-in-Residence fellow Corwin Levi—will talk about its current body of work investigating how many times you can squeeze the letter "i" into the word shine. Levi may also discuss other endeavors including searching for faint fields, the difficulties of translating ancient Japanese haikus into paint color swatches, the collaborative process, and gin piles.

Radio Sebastian is an artist team currently composed of Corwin Levi and Yumiko Blackwell. Between them, they have studied Art, Art History, English, German Literature, Law, and Library Science. Levi is spending the year in Roswell while Blackwell is pursuing their investigations in Washington, DC.
