RECOVERY IN MAINE
4:30pm
Free!
Points North’s Recovery in Maine program began in 2018 and is a statewide series of documentary film screenings that spark public discussions about substance use disorder, the recovery process, and our collective response to the opioid epidemic. Beginning in 2020, through a partnership with the State of Maine, Points North began working with local filmmakers to produce short documentaries about Maine communities’ responses to the epidemic. A selection of these shorts will be screened at Cabin Fever, followed by a community conversation led by the film participants.
COPA 71
7:30pm
$10/$5
In this documentary executive produced by Serena and Venus Williams, the filmmakers use archival footage and new interviews to tell the story of the unofficial 1971 Women’s World Cup, a moment virtually erased from the history of soccer. Teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy gathered at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international footballing history. This tournament is unlike anything that’s happened before; the players on the pitch are all women. Dismissed by both FIFA and domestic football associations around the world, this event has been entirely written out of history. Until now.
This film is appropriate for all ages. Watch the trailer here!
