Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival
<p>CRIFF celebrates that people with ties to Iowa are in the film production industry everywhere. We provide a venue for for these filmmakers to screen their work for peers and general audiences, encourage Iowa independent filmmakers to continue improving their craft, present a unique cultural event to the community, and to offer networking opportunities for local and distant filmmakers.</p><p>Every entrant, whether selected or not, is welcome to one <strong>COMPLIMENTARY FULL-EVENT TICKET</strong>, and has the opportunity to schedule a personal <strong>CONVERSATION WITH THE JUDGES</strong>, on Sunday April 16. This rare opportunity for one-on-one feedback has long been a hallmark of the Festival, and is regarded by many filmmakers as the most valuable perk of entry. </p><p>Our rules are outlined in great detail on the FilmFreeway page, however there is one rule that sets us apart from any other film festival in the world: the <strong>IOWA CONNECTION</strong>. A big part of CRIFF is recognizing that people with ties to Iowa are in the production industry everywhere. We're looking for films from anywhere and by anyone, with an Iowa connection of some sort. That could be a crew or cast member who lived, worked or went to school in Iowa; a film that was produced, at least in part, in Iowa; or a story featuring an Iowa subject or Iowan (past or present, real or fictional). In past years, we've had films submitted from all across the US, and even from other countries. If you don't think your film qualifies, ask around...you just might have an Iowan on set!</p><p>In addition to being screened - twice - for our enthusiastic audience, Official Selections are honored with a commemorative <strong>T-SHIRT</strong> (with your name on the back), your entry featured in promotional statewide media, and advancement into the <strong>EDDY AWARDS</strong> competition. </p><p><strong>GOLD</strong> and <strong>SILVER EDDY Awards</strong> are presented in Professional, Pro-Am and Student categories for Features, Shorts, Documentaries, and "Freestyle" (experimental, music video, video art, etc.) films. We also award the <strong>AUDIENCE CHOICE EDDY</strong>, voted on by audience members. </p><p><strong>The IOWA CONNECTION EDDY</strong> is awarded to that film which best represents Iowa's filmmaking community. Simply, it is a film that tells the world WHO is making films in Iowa, WHY they're doing it in this state, and WHAT Iowa stories are being told. </p><p>Finally, the <strong>COLLINS ROAD THEATRES SCHOLARSHIP ($1000)</strong> is awarded each year to a student filmmaker in order to further the recipient's filmmaking education and career. </p> 2022-12-12 23:00:00 -0600

Bridge to Opportunities for Older Adults
<p><sub>Although individuals experiencing dementia lose some cognitive skills they never lose all their skills. In fact, with dementia, we keep our primary thinking skills and continue to live in the present—fully able to enjoy beauty, emotions and companionship. There are strengths and gifts in dementia and both you and your loved one will benefit when you understand how to recognize skills lost and skills kept. Understanding strength-based dementia supportive care will help eliminate a sense of suffering, keep your loved one home longer, with fewer behavior problems, and your family will have less stress and expense.</sub></p> 2023-01-18 11:30:00 -0600

Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton at Prairiewoods
<p>The practice of contemplative living helps us respond to everyday experiences with greater awareness of our connections with God and others. It becomes a positive force in our lives and provides direction for our journey, enabling us to embrace our truest selves.

The process involves readings, reflections and contemplative dialogue. A free-will offering will be accepted. Please register for your first session by noon on the previous day to get the Zoom link.
