Farsi - with English subtitles

In this electric, political thriller, a family's dynamic is forever changed when its patriarch rises to a position of political power in Tehran. As a student protest movement sweeps the country and the government cracks down with tougher sanctions, Iman sides with the regime, much to his daughters' displeasure, causing a rift in the family that his wife attempts to fix. Following the disappearance of Iman's gun, paranoia sets in, and he doesn't know who to believe. Directed by filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, who was forced to flee to Germany to escape persecution for speaking out against the Iranian government, this stunning film is Germany's submission to the Oscars for Best International Feature Film.

Brett McCutcheon, a North Allegheny HS-Slippery Rock University alum and band instructor at Mt. Lebanon HS, is a young composer whose life was forever changed by the sudden loss of his older brother, Ryan. Channeling his grief, he produced a 5-track EP that is the backbone of this moving 40-minute tribute. Director Jennifer Schlieper seamlessly weaves together Brett's personal video diaries, interviews with family and friends, and footage of musicians from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra who bring Brett's songs to life. The Ocean - Five Years is an uplifting experience that reaffirms the power of music as an instrument for healing.
