In celebration of World Refugee day, Shrine13 and Pacific Refugee Support Group (PRSG) in collaboration with WorldOregon present the feature animated documentary, Pour the Water as I Leave. A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will fund a new animation workshop program to benefit refugee and immigrant families in Oregon.
Pour the Water as I Leave is a surreal exploration of the war in Bosnia and the unbreakable spirit of eight of her people whose strength to leave was as powerful as the fight to stay. Blending live action with haunting collage animation and choreographed dance, the film follows two lovers whose connection forms as war descends upon their world. Before the screening, at 10 a.m., join Portland’s annual Walk for Refugees, hosted by Pacific Refugee Support and partner organizations, starting at Salmon Street Springs on the waterfront. At 1:30 p.m., come to the Portland Art Museum’s Finley Studio for a Masterclass Animation Workshop with award-winning filmmaker and animator Daniela Repas.
