Passport Series
It's time for the Passport Series, Ragtag Cinema's tenth annual exploration of new international cinema. Starting Sept. 9, each Wednesday and Thursday through Oct. 29, Ragtag will show a newly released film from a different country. Immediately after the film ends, they'll host an audience discussion.
The series is as geographically diverse as ever, with directors leading us to Mexico to Ukraine, South Sudan to India, France to Iran. As usual, film descriptions are kept a tad vague. That's because it's thrilling to go into a film unaware of its twists and turns. Click here for a full list of films and schedule of events.

The Downtown CID intends to select the artist capable of providing the personnel and services specified in the RFQ at the most competitive prices.
