We are excited to once again partner with the Arlington International Film Festival to host an event tied to a film in this year’s program. We have assembled a panel of speakers to discuss the documentary Porcelain War, a moving film that follows three Ukrainian artists’ struggle to find beauty amid the destruction of the Russian war.
The film will screen on Saturday, November 9 starting at 2:30 pm at the Capitol Theater which is located across the street from the gallery. You may purchase tickets for the film here. Following the screening, there will be a reception and discussion at 13FOREST Gallery at 4:30 pm which is free and open to the public. Read more about the film and event here.
