Some students even traveled by riverboat to school. Bill will be on hand to answer questions and sign books.

September 12	Friday Foreign Film "Grbavica" (Land of My Dreams) 7:00pm Coos Bay Library A powerful and completely human glimpse into the horrors suffered by women during the Balkan War, made all the more poignant by its sublime cast and subtle direction. An understated look at post-war survivors living in Sarajevo. Esma (Mirjana Karanovic) is a single mother struggling to support her 12-year old daughter, Sara (Luna Mijovic), in the Grbavica district of Sarajevo, a neighborhood once used as an internment camp during the Yugoslav wars. When questions arise about her father, Sara realizes that her mother has never honest about the war years, and the truth threatens to destroy them. In a nuanced, beautifully rendered performance, Karanovic portrays a woman who has surrendered to life's graver indignities, while consciously affirming her existence through small triumphs. Winner of the Berlin International Film Festival's Golden Bear Award, and official entry from Bosnia/Herzegovina for the 2006 Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award.
