SUMMARY:THE DEAD DON'T HURT
DESCRIPTION:The Dead Don’t Hurt is a Western drama set on the American frontier during the Civil War. The film follows two pioneers who fall in love and try to build a life in a brutal\, lawless world. Their relationship drives the story and gives the film its emotional core. \nAs the war spreads across the country\, its violence and instability reach even the most remote territories. Power shifts quickly\, justice breaks down\, and danger surrounds them. The frontier tests their resolve at every turn. The land itself is unforgiving\, and other people often pose an even greater threat. Survival demands hard choices\, courage\, and sacrifice. \nLove does not protect the couple from loss\, but it gives them purpose. They fight to hold on to each other while facing betrayal\, cruelty\, and grief. Each decision shapes their future. The film emphasizes strength and independence\, especially in the face of systems designed to deny safety and fairness. \nRather than celebrate violence\, The Dead Don’t Hurt confronts its consequences. Conflict leaves lasting scars and forces the characters to grow or break under pressure. Quiet moments of reflection stand alongside sudden danger\, creating a tense and grounded rhythm. \nVisually restrained and emotionally direct\, the film strips the Western of romantic myth. It focuses on human cost instead of conquest. At its heart\, The Dead Don’t Hurt tells a story about endurance. It shows how love survives in a world defined by war\, loss\, and relentless hardship. \nDirector: Viggo Mortensen \nStars: Vicky Krieps\, Viggo Mortensen\, Solly McLeod \nWe are especially grateful to the Sheffield Foundation for sponsoring this screening.

SUMMARY:SCROOGED
DESCRIPTION:Holiday Laughs on the Big Screen\nFrank Cross (Bill Murray) has everything. Power. Money. Fame. But he has no heart. On Christmas Eve\, his cold ambition catches up with him. What follows is a wild\, ghostly ride through time in this outrageous twist on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” \nThis isn’t your average businessman. He clawed his way up from the mailroom to become president of a major TV network. Along the way\, he shed compassion. He thrives on cruelty and laughs at kindness. His humor is sharp\, sarcastic\, and mean. In short\, he is the perfect Scrooge for the modern age. \nAs the network gears up for a massive live broadcast of Dickens’ tale\, Frank’s own story takes center stage. The universe has plans for him. He’s about to be confronted by three very unusual spirits. \nFirst comes the past. A crazed New York cab driver with a devilish grin drags Frank on a whirlwind tour of his childhood and youth. Then comes the present. A glittery\, unhinged fairy crashes into his life with slapstick violence and relentless energy\, showing him the pain his choices have caused. Finally\, the future. A towering\, nightmarish specter looms. Cloaked. Headless. Terrifying. It offers Frank a glimpse of his lonely\, wasted end. The question is simple: will he change before it’s too late? \nScrooged is sharp\, dark\, and hilarious. It mixes slapstick chaos with biting satire. Murray’s performance explodes with manic energy and sharp wit. The ghosts are bizarre\, outrageous\, and unforgettable. This is not your grandfather’s Christmas Carol. It’s loud\, irreverent\, and wildly entertaining. \nA holiday classic. With a wicked grin. \nDirector: Richard Donner\nWriters: Mitch Glazer\, Michael O’Donoghue\, Charles Dickens\nStars: Bill Murray\, Karen Allen\, John Forsythe

As a decorated F/A-18 fighter pilot and veteran of multiple combat deployments\, Becky brings not only unmatched experience but also a compelling story of courage\, leadership\, and perseverance. In a field historically dominated by men\, her journey stands as a powerful example of breaking barriers and forging new paths. \nThis event is open to everyone – students\, professionals\, families\, and community members alike. No matter your background\, Becky’s story transcends gender and occupation. In fact\, it speaks directly to anyone who has faced obstacles while striving for excellence. \nOver the course of nearly two decades\, Becky served with distinction in the U.S. Navy. During that time\, she flew missions across the globe and trained the next generation of fighter pilots. As a result\, she not only shattered a glass ceiling but also helped redefine what’s possible for future generations. In particular\, her legacy offers inspiration to young women and girls who dare to lead\, fly\, or dream big. \nThrough a talk and presentation by Becky\, a fireside chat with a moderator\, and an audience Q&A\, Becky will share vivid stories and hard-earned lessons.

SUMMARY:FAN: Dream School - Finding the College That's Right for You
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Selingo on Rethinking the College Admissions Journey\nJoin us for an evening with Family Action Network and Jeff Selingo\, author of Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You. In conversation with Dr. Matthew Montgomery\, superintendent of Lake Forest Schools Districts 67 and 115\, Jeff will share insights from his survey of more than 3\,000 parents. He offers a fresh perspective that helps families rethink the college search. \nFor decades\, college has been a rite of passage and a cornerstone of the American dream. Yet today\, the process feels broken. Even top students face rejection. Families struggle under financial strain. In Dream School\, Selingo shifts the focus. Instead of asking how colleges pick students\, he asks how students can pick colleges more wisely. \nThe landscape has changed. Test-optional policies and grade inflation make admissions less predictable. Getting into an elite school often feels like a lottery. Plan A may succeed\, but more often it doesn’t. Jeff urges families to move past the “Top 25 or bust” mindset. Instead\, he points to hidden-gem schools with high value and rich opportunities. \nUncovering What Really Matters\nHis findings are backed by research and reinforced by thousands of parent voices. Dream School uncovers what truly matters in higher education. Job prospects. Hands-on learning. A strong sense of belonging. To guide students\, Jeff spotlights 75 accessible and affordable colleges that meet these priorities. \nThe book is organized into three clear sections. First\, it explains why an elite degree often matters less than people assume. Second\, it shows why families increasingly value affordability and opportunity over prestige. Third\, it teaches how to ensure that a degree delivers real returns. \nThis conversation will challenge assumptions and open doors. Join us to discover how to find the college that’s right for you. \n  \n \nJeff Selingo has written about colleges and universities for more than two and a half decades and\nis a New York Times bestselling author of three books. His latest book\, Who Gets In & Why: A\nYear Inside College Admissions\, takes readers inside the admissions offices of three selective\nuniversities and was named among the 100 Notable Books of the year by the New York Times.\nHis next book\, Dream School: Finding The College That’s Right For You\, is based on two-plus\nyears of research and an original survey of 3\,500 parents.\nA regular contributor to The Atlantic\, New York Times\, and Wall Street Journal\, Jeff is a special\nadvisor to the president and professor of practice at Arizona State University. He also writes a bi-\nweekly newsletter on all things higher ed called Next and co-hosts the podcast\, Future U. He\nlives near Washington\, DC with his family. \n\nDr. Matthew L. Montgomery serves as Superintendent of Lake Forest Community High School District 115 and Lake Forest Elementary School District 67\, overseeing the effective operation\, educational programs\, and fiscal management of both districts. His career began as a high school science teacher in Canfield\, Ohio\, followed by leadership roles as principal at Waterloo Middle and High Schools\, and later Superintendent of Waterloo Local School District. He then led Revere Local School District in Bath\, Ohio\, where he implemented a five-year strategic plan\, advanced community engagement\, managed $70 million in capital improvements\, and elevated district performance. Since joining the Lake Forest districts in 2021\, Dr. Montgomery has guided the development of the Portrait of a Learner\, new strategic plans\, and a successful $105.7 million referendum. Nationally\, he serves as Lead Superintendent for Cohort and Partner Connections with AASA and Co-Chair of the AASA STEM Leadership Consortium.
