Saturday November 3, 1:30  ‘Pink Ribbons Inc.,’ directed by Lea Pool  followed by the discussion ’50 Shades of Pink’ featuring producer Ravida Din.  Pink Ribbons, Inc. is a powerful and thoughtful feature documentary that shows how the devastating reality of breast cancer, which marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause," has become obscured by a shiny, pink story of success.

Saturday November 3, 4:30 pm ‘Cleo From 5 to 7’ by acclaimed directed Agnes Varda who eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy.

Sunday November 4, 1:30 pm ‘Mondays At Racine’ directed by Cynthia Wade followed by the discussion ‘Caring For Cancer’. In the newest film by Academy Award winning director Cynthia Wade, two bold, brassy sisters open their doors of the Long Island hair salon to women facing cancer.

Sunday November 4, 3:45 pm ‘Pink Skies’ directed by Gulcin Gilbert. Pink Skies tells the story of nearly 200 incredible women from 31 counties (including Canada) who come together in hopes of achieving two goals: to create a World Record all Women's Skydiving Formation and to raise nearly 1 million dollars for breast cancer research and prevention. Gulcin Gilbert and skydivers in attendance.
