DESCRIPTION:  A Ghost Waits … Tue Sep 14\, & Wed Sep 15\, 7 pm both nights.\nQ&A with director Adam Stovall. Also available in the CWC Virtual Cinema\nIn this creative\, funny\, unpredictable and ultimately moving ghost story\, the business of haunting is run by a bureaucracy. Ghosts are “spectral agents” and as such\, Muriel is tasked with driving people out of their homes. Her target\, Jack – a handyman\, is a temporary resident while fixing up a home for new occupants. They should be adversaries\, but Jack is more intrigued than frightened\, and he connects with Muriel. The interest is mutual and romance blossoms. \nDirector Adam Stovall will be with us to talk about the film’s central themes of loneliness and connection\, sharing his motivation for writing the screenplay and shooting the film in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. We’ll learn why he chose not to make a generic jump-scare or slasher film\, but rather\, an artful combination of humor and heart with sufficient ghostly attributes to make it a success on the fright fest circuit. \nREAD MORE about A Ghost Waits.

SUMMARY:LUNAFEST short films
DESCRIPTION:  LUNAFEST … Sun Sep 19\, and Sun Sep 26\, 4 pm both days.\nQ&A led by WIF filmmakers. Also available in the CWC Virtual Cinema \nThis year’s edition of the Lunafest Short Films is a benefit for Women in Film Cincinnati and four accomplished WIF professionals will lead post-film discussions: Sara Drabik\, Abi Esmena\, Jaime Myers Schlenck and Tracy Songer. As always\, Lunafest 2021 is a diverse collection of engaging\, thought-provoking films\, for example:\n• As the Arctic ice cap melts away\, a team of women explorers and women filmmakers trek to the North Pole on foot – conceivably the last expedition of its sort as global warming destroys the ice fields.\n• A superstar athlete and woman of color\, AJ Andrews\, struggles to survive on $15K a year in an industry more willing to pay female athletes to model than to play their sport.\n• Speaking up for women in STEM everywhere\, a group of women scientists at Dartmouth make the brave and life-changing decision to call out sexual abuse on campus.\n• The remaining four films are equally compelling: a 93-year-old artist still pushing boundaries and making her mark; a young native American embracing fly-fishing and conservation; a mixed-media artist combating the sexual objectification of women\, a 12-year-old immigrant girl searching for safety.\n \nREAD MORE about LUNAFEST 2021.

Today\, while balancing military and diplomacy priorities\, national governments assess and combat threats in cyberspace and outer space\, water supplies and power grids\, food production and energy chains. In this six-part virtual series\, the International Relations Council will take a deep dive into the national security arena\, offering historical context and global perspective for core dimensions of national security and exploring the risks\, priorities\, and tactics on the radar of U.S. security policy. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\n \n \nAs head of the National Risk Management Center\, Kolasky has the responsibility to develop integrated analytic capability to analyze risk to critical infrastructure and work across the national community to reduce risk.

He most recently served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection (IP)\, where he led the coordinated national effort to partner with industry to reduce the risk posed by acts of terrorism and other cyber or physical threats to the nation’s critical infrastructure\, including election infrastructure.\n \nKolasky has served in a number of other senior leadership roles for DHS\, including acting Deputy Under Secretary for NPPD before it became CISA and the Director of the DHS Cyber-Physical Critical Infrastructure Integrated Task Force to implement Presidential Policy Directive 21 on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience\, as well as Executive Order 13636 on Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.\n \nHe is also the former Assistant Director for the Office of Risk Management Analysis at DHS where he was responsible for developing DHS’s formative policies and processes for risk management\, including the DHS Risk Management Fundamentals and Risk Lexicon. Prior to joining DHS\, he was a journalist and an entrepreneur. He helped start two of the first public policy web sites and served as the Managing Editor for IntellectualCapital.com.\n \nKolasky joined the Federal government in 2008 after six years as a management consultant. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1994 and from the Harvard Kennedy School in 2002.\n\n\n\nSupporting Series Sponsor\nButtonwood Financial Group\, LLC\n\nCyprienne Simchowitz & Jerry White\n\n\n  \nNuancing National Security Series Schedule\nAll programs will take place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. CT\n\n\nWednesday\, August 18: Biological and Agricultural Security\nWednesday\, August 25: The 21st Century Military \nThursday\, September 9: Diplomacy’s Role in National Security\nMonday\, September 13: Transnational Security Issues\nMonday\, September 20: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Resilience \nMonday\, September 27: Energy Security
