protektorInternational Film Movement: "Protektor", Tuesday, February 7, 4:00 pm. Award winning film series. Free refreshments served.

1938, Prague. Emil, a radio reporter, is married to the beautiful Hana, an actress whose new film has catapulted her into fame. As the Nazis come to power, however, Hana's Jewish heritage precipitates her fall from stardom to the bottom of the social ladder. In order to protect her, Emil compromises himself collaborating with the new Nazi-controlled state radio station. But as Emil starts enjoying the attention and respect that had previously evaded him, his fidelity and loyalty towards his wife begin to falter. The assassination of the Third Reich Deputy Protector and a chance encounter on a bicycle bring their lingering marriage to a crisis, possibly sealing Hana's fate.

luckyhapahaoleGeraldine Ebbert Wilner: Saturday, February 4, 1:00 pm. Geraldine's starting point in life was Hawaii. How much better than that could it be? She is a 'Lucky Hapa Haole'(pronounced: hapa how-lee) which means she is half white and a half local combination of Hawaiian, Chinese, or Japanese. The key to her bold existence was prompted by her simple life. She'll share stories of love, birth, death, Guardian Angels, and adventures around the world. Be prepared to be inspired with her 'Can Do' attitude.
