"The annual Capital Irish Film Festival explores the current moment of Irish cinema, but it's also a rich exploration of Irish culture, with the shadow of history never far away. Films include an exploration of one man's relationship with the craggy Irish landscape ("Listen to the Land Speak"), the first feature-length documentary to feature Irish Sign Language ("A Quiet Love"), a deep dive into the modern Irish folk music scene ("Celtic Utopia"), and stories of rebels and politicians."
"This weekend sees the transition from celebrations of Black History Month to Women's History Month. For the former, events include a multi-venue festival in Anacostia, a genealogy workshop at the D.C. Public Library and the Black Boy Art Show. Meanwhile, the National Museum of Women in the Arts kicks off Women's History Month with a day of tours, art-making and other fun."
