SUMMARY:A Ghost Waits
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.\n Director 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.

SUMMARY:Language Lessons - Cincinnati World Cinema Film Night
DESCRIPTION:LANGUAGE LESSONS\nwith post-film discussion\n\n☀ IN-THEATRE …\nOne Night Only…\nWednesday\, October 27\, 7:00 pm\nProof of vaccination is required for admission \nSHORT TAKE:  LANGUAGE LESSONS is a beautifully made and superbly acted story — about feeling lost and alone\, about breaking down walls and sharing feelings\, about blossoming friendship and platonic love — that does not wind up in the bedroom. This is a rare and refreshing approach in an industry where sexual activity is often considered necessary to hold viewers’ attention. \nHere\, we have two interesting people who discover each other and what really matters in life. The onscreen chemistry between Adam (Mark Duplass) and Cariño (Natalie Morales) is strong\, sincere and believable\, as is the developing relationship between their characters. \nDirected by Natalie Morales\, co-written by Morales and Duplass\, with both providing charismatic and heartfelt performances\, LANGUAGE LESSONS is a labor of love and an elegant gem in a sea of big-budget\, predictable films flooding theatres and the Internet. \nBest enjoyed on the big screen\, join us for the film and discussion led by Alfonso Barnes and Sara Drabik on Thursday\, October 27.

SUMMARY:The Art of War in an Age of Peace: U.S. Grand Strategy and Resolute Restraint
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 29\, 2021 @ 1:00 PM PST | 4:00 PM EST \nThe World Affairs Council of Orange County Presents: \nThe Art of War in an Age of Peace: U.S. Grand Strategy and Resolute Restraint \nPanelist Biography:\n \nMichael O’Hanlon is a senior fellow\, and director of research\, in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution\, where he specializes in U.S. defense strategy\, the use of military force\, and American national security policy. He\nco-directs the Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology; the Defense Industrial Base working group; and the Africa Security Initiative within the Foreign Policy program\, as well. He is an adjunct professor at Columbia and\nGeorgetown universities\, a professional lecturer at George Washington University\, and a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. O’Hanlon was also a member of the external advisory board at the Central Intelligence Agency from 2011-12. \nO’Hanlon has written several hundred op-eds in newspapers including The Washington Post\, The New York Times\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Times\, The Financial Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Japan Times\, USA Today\, and Pakistan’s Dawn paper.  His articles have appeared in Foreign Affairs\, The National Interest\, Survival\, Washington Quarterly\, Joint Forces Quarterly\, and International Security\, among other publications.\nO’Hanlon has appeared on television or spoken on the radio some 4\,000 times since September 11\, 2001. In 2021\, O’Hanlon was named one of Washingtonian’s “Most Influential People” in national security and defense. \nO’Hanlon was an analyst at the Congressional Budget Office from 1989 to 1994. He also worked previously at the Institute for Defense Analyses. His doctorate from Princeton is in public and international affairs; his bachelor’s and master’s degrees\, also from Princeton\, are in the physical sciences. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Congo/Kinshasa (the former Zaire) from 1982-84\, where he taught college and high school physics in French. Earlier\, he worked on a dairy farm in Upstate New York\, where he grew up\, and attempted (unsuccessfully) with a team of Princeton experimental physicists in the “Gravity Group” to disprove Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. \nModerator Biography: \nElizabeth Shackelford joined the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in January 2021 as senior fellow on US foreign policy. Her analysis\, writing\, and outreach focus on building awareness and understanding of a “restraint” approach to foreign policy\, which seeks to limit the use of military force to the defense of core US national security interests and favors robust diplomatic engagement. Shackelford was a career diplomat with the US Department of State until December 2017\, when she resigned in protest of the Trump administration. Her resignation letter was the first to draw widespread attention to the declining state of diplomacy under Donald Trump. She is the author of The Dissent Channel: American Diplomacy in a Dishonest Age\, winner of the 2020 Douglas Dillon Book Award. Using both firsthand and historical observations\, The Dissent Channel demonstrates that the crisis in US foreign policy predated recent efforts to sideline the diplomatic corps. \nAs a Foreign Service Officer\, Shackelford served in Somalia\, Kenya\, South Sudan\, Poland\, and Washington\, D.C.\, tracking political and conflict developments\, advising Mission and Washington leadership\, and\nadvocating for US interests with foreign counterparts. For her work in South Sudan during the outbreak of civil war in 2013\, Shackelford received the Barbara Watson Award for Consular Excellence\, the Department’s\nhighest honor for consular work. \nAs a non-resident fellow with the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in 2020\, Shackelford conducted research\, analysis\, and commentary on the costs of a militarized approach to foreign policy and the need for\ngreater accountability in US actions abroad. Prior to joining the State Department\, Shackelford was an associate with Booz Allen Hamilton where she led USAID projects to assess business environments in developing\ncountries. Shackelford was also an associate with the law firm Covington & Burling\, where she focused on international trade law.

SUMMARY:Global Supply Chains and National Security
DESCRIPTION:The shutdown of global supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the fore an issue with the high level of global economic interdependence: what happens when one country is the main source for an item\, say face masks\, and then can no longer supply the item? Countries suddenly unable to meet the demand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic nationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have on global supply chains and trade? How would this affect national security? \nGuillermo Malpica Soto has a long and distinguished career in Mexico’s Ministry of Economy. In October he was designated to represent the Ministry at the Embassy of Mexico in Washington\, D.C. Mr. Malpica has served as Mexico’s Director General for International Trade in Services and Investment in Mexico’s Ministry of Economy since 2008.

SUMMARY:Why Womanpower Matters In the Military with Dr. Tanya Roth
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Veteran’s Day this year\, to understand how women’s military roles evolved during the Cold War in order to understand the US military today – and in particular\, women’s defense roles. \nIn those decades\, servicewomen pushed back against limitations placed on them because they were women: while they generally didn’t call themselves feminists or activists\, they nonetheless fought for their rights\, and this changed what it meant for women to be equal\, not just in the military\, but also in the civilian world. \nDr. Tanya Roth is a local historian and high school history teacher with a history PhD from Washington University in St. Louis. Her research specializes in the role of servicewomen in the U.S. military. Dr. Roth will be releasing Her Cold War: Women in the U.S. Military\, 1945–1980 on September 30th of this year. The book discusses the impact and experiences of U.S. military servicewomen following the adoption of the 1948 Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. \nDr. Roth’s writing and research have been recognized by several awards\, including a fellowship from the American Association of University Women\, the Society of Military History’s Coffman Prize\, and grants from John F. Kennedy\, Lyndon B. Johnson\, and Gerald Ford Presidential Libraries. Additionally\, her writing has appeared in History News Network\, Public Seminar\, American Historical Association’s AHA Today\, and most recently in The Washington Post. \nPlease buy Dr. Roth’s book here!\nhttps://uncpress.org/book/9781469664439/her-cold-war/ \nShe has offered the discount code: 01DAH40 for 40% discount on our site: https://worldaffairsstl.nationbuilder.com/admin/sites/1/pages/25/event/content
