While the Nov. 12 dinner and screening of her documentary “Princess Angeline” is filled to capacity, director Sandra Sunrising Osawa will host two free showings of another of her films, “Usual and Accustomed Places,” in both Port Angeles and Forks.
The movie, an account of Pacific Northwest tribes’ century-long struggle to uphold their fishing rights, also focuses on the history of the Makah tribe.
Osawa, a Makah who grew up in Port Angeles and Neah Bay, will show “Usual and Accustomed Places” at Maier Hall on Peninsula College’s main campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13.
Admission is free and the filmmaker will engage in a question-and answer session after the screening.
“Usual and Accustomed Places” will then be shown free at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Peninsula College Forks site, 481 S. Forks Ave., where Osawa will again answer questions afterward.
Attendees are advised to come early to these screenings.
Osawa, co-owner of Upstream Productions of Seattle, earned a bachelor’s degree from Lewis and Clark College of Portland, Ore., and attended the University of California’s graduate film program.
A free dinner and screening of her film, “Princess Angeline,” at the Jamestown S’Klallam Community Center on Nov. 12 is already at capacity.
