Early August Greetings, OLÉ Community!

Are you interested in helping some of our youngest community members in Columbus?

If so, please read on!

A local youth soccer team with members from diverse socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and national backgrounds are only about 8% away from reaching their $800 goal.

The funding is set to be applied towards travel games and other related costs.

Even as little as a $5 donation would make a difference!

Extra! Extra! Read all about announcements, upcoming events, Disability Pride Month, and more in the July 10th, 2024 newsletter!

July is . People with disabilities—both visible and invisible—constitute the world's largest minority group.

"Disability Pride is celebrated in July as a result of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law on July 26, 1990. But the history of civil rights protections for people with disabilities is older than the ADA. In 1973, discrimination against those with disabilities became illegal with the passage of Section 504, and its addition to the Rehabilitation Act. It was the first legislation that addressed the minoritization of all people with disabilities. However, its protections only extended to employers who received federal funding."

Get out there (or however you wish to) and celebrate the tremendous diversity, achievements, and history that the disability community has delivered to the world over!

Join fellow film lovers at Wexner Center for the Arts this Friday, June 7th at 7:00 PM for the Ohio premiere of the A24 film SING SING!

Co-starring Oscar nominee Colman Domingo and Paul Raci, film critic Valerie Complex observed that the two thespians “lead a cast that infuses the narrative with raw emotion and authenticity. Their performances resonate with a deep understanding of the prison system’s dual nature — moments of melancholic reflection juxtaposed against instances of radiant hope.”

Get your tickets today!!

Starting tomorrow, Thursday, June 6th at Wexner Center for the Arts! 🎥

Cinematic giant Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (1928–1996) is widely regarded as Cuba’s foremost filmmaker. From comedies and satires to historical epics, his stylistically daring films explore life in postrevolutionary Cuba. This June, the Wexner Center for the Arts brings six of Gutiérrez Alea’s restored works to the big screen, including his critically acclaimed masterpiece Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) as well as rarely seen gems like The Last Supper (1976).

Gutiérrez Alea wrote and directed more than 20 features, documentaries, and short films throughout his life. Steeped in film history during his studies at Rome’s Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Gutiérrez Alea pays homage in his films to the greats who inspired him, including Charlie Chaplin and Luis Buñuel. Following the Cuban revolution in 1959, and with the support of the Castro regime, he and a group of other young filmmakers founded the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC). The collective advocated for film as an art form and as the best method of disseminating revolutionary ideals to the masses. Ever dedicated to the revolution, his films nonetheless deftly critique the social, economic, and political realities of life in Cuba.

Special thanks to Patrick Steele, Cohen Film Collection, and MotZoriongo TV, S.A. (Mexico) for their support of this series.
