Every year the festival highlights narrative and documentary films and films on the arts play a big part in the coastal film festival. One of particular interest to textile artists is the screening of A RADICAL THREAD. </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'>The film follows the San Juan Ridge Community in the Sierra Foothills that has survived countless threats during its 50-year history including mining, logging and arson. Established by artists and ecologists in the 1970's this thriving group now faces their most monumental challenge to date – wildfire and drought caused by climate change. For seventeen years hundreds of volunteers stitched the stories of their struggles and celebrations into 12 tapestry panels that total 83 feet. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director. Friday, May 30, 1:20pm, Coast Cinemas in Fort Bragg. </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white'>The complete program and tickets are available </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>at</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><a href="http://mendofilm.com/"><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;text-decoration:none'> </span></a></span><u><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC'><a href="http://mendofilm.com">mendofilm.com</a></span></u><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'>Link to trailer <a href="https://mff-2025.eventive.org/schedule/680a6bb67e734604ef0aa4c8">https://mff-2025.eventive.org/schedule/680a6bb67e734604ef0aa4c8</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><img border=0 width=640 height=360 style='width:6.6666in;height:3.75in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01DBC637.7E0613B0"></span><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"LucidaGrande",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
