In remembrance of Vic Skolnick, co-founder of the Cinema Arts Centre, the cinema will be showing
his favorite film. Cherry Blossoms is about an elderly married couple who live in a small
Bavarian town. Trudi has always been interested in the arts, especially Japanese Butoh dancing, but
has devoted her life to caring for her family. Her husband, Rudi, is a civil servant. When Rudi is
diagnosed with a serious illness, Trudi decides that they will take a trip to the Baltic Sea. This begins
a journey that will change their lives. Doris Dorrie is a spiritually sensitive German film director who
has made a remarkable and touching film about impermanence, death, grief, and the healing power of
creativity. She states "One has to give love a chance to reveal itself in its greatest pain and strength.
That's why the Japanese sit under the cherry
blossoms because they are tremendously beautiful when they bloom. At the
same time, this period of blossoming is short livedone has to catch the moment
when it happens." Cherry Blossoms is the way Vic would have wanted to be
remembered. (Germany, 2008, 127 min., color, 35mm Writer/Director: Doris Dörrie
