The 25th Houston Iranian Film Festival
This year marks the 25th anniversary of this festival, established by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and Rice Cinema. Screenings will take place at both venues and at The Asia Society Texas Center. Following last year’s screening of Asghar Farhadi’s The Salesman, which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, this year's selections include Breath, Iran’s 2017 Oscar submission. It is one of several narratives by and about young Iranian women, and, like Tehran Taboo, features the innovative use of animation. 24 Frames, the mesmerizing, experimental last film by the internationally celebrated Abbas Kiarostami (1940-2016) will be shown at both the Museum and Rice Cinema.

HPJC Annual New Member Orientation & Planning Retreat
Houston Peace and Justice Center will be having their annual new member orientation and planning retreat, and YOU are not only invited, you are needed. In this new year when our president has already announced we should have no more refugees from “shithole countries”, but instead more (implied) blue eyes blond white people from Norway, it is more important than ever that we use our collective resources! If you are an individual member, a board representative from a member organization, or a wannabe activist, now is the time to pick up your resolve and participate in our annual planning retreat. Come be a part of the solution! We need your help in planning our direction and energy resources so we can have an impact on our neighborhoods, our city, and our world. If not you, then who?
