Lyrical Space of Claire Denis
The Northwest Film Center is
proud to feature the striking
filmography of one of France’s
most visually profound filmmak­
ers in a new series entitled, “The
Lyrical Space of Claire Denis.”
Known for her unflinching por­
trayal of social realities, Denis
began her career as an assistant
director with the likes of Wim
Wenders, Jim Jarmushch, and
Dusan Makavejev. Her first hand
experience of social and political
tension as a resident in French
colonial Africa provides inspira­
tion for much of her works.
The series will include nine of
her directorial efforts in addition
to three of her best-known assis­
tant directed films. Shows start
Friday, May 3 and will be con­
tinuing through May 16 at the
Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 S.W.
Park Ave. For information, visit

Wonder Weeders Wanted
You’re invited to join Friends
of Peninsula Park Rose Garden
and a friendly crew of volunteer
weeders every Monday, 8 a.m.
to noon now through Septem­
ber.
The goal is to manage weeds
before they take hold. No exten­
sive experience required, plus
you can work in the level beds or
on the slopes. A weeding tool
and garden gloves are all you
need.
Just one hour of your wonder-
ful weeding will reduce or elimi­
nate herbicide use; contribute to
the overall beauty and health of
the garden, and grow your gar­
den knowledge and friendships
