<div>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. Guided by the presence of real-life survivors, their journey unfolds through a dreamlike haze of shifting realities, where memory and trauma intertwine - but so do resilience and hope. The film captures the weight of displacement and the unwavering pursuit of home, no matter where the journey leads.</div><div><br></div><div>In celebration of World Refugee day,  Shrine13 and Pacific Refugee Support Group (PRSG) in collaboration with Oregon Community Asylum Network (OCAN) 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. Before the screening join OCAN at First United Methodist Church (1376 Olive St., Eugene) for their annual World Refugee Day Event from 12 - 4pm.</div><div><br></div><div>*Winner Best in Dance FIlm Ann Arbor Film Festival</div><div>*Nominee Best Documentary Feature Portland Panorama Film Festival</div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Tickets are offered for a suggested sliding scale donation:</b></div><div><ul><li>Standard Ticket — $15 (suggested)</li><li>Community Ticket — $10 (no questions asked)</li><li>Solidarity Ticket — $25 (supports access for others)</li></ul></div><div>If you are able, please consider purchasing a Solidarity Ticket to help cover admission for community members with limited income. </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Animated Feature DocumentaryPT1H15M2026-06-20
