Join us for Open Circle & CVC’s End of Term Event! We may be staying home for the health and safety of our communities and ourselves but we can still experience fun and connection with others. Physical distancing need not mean social isolation. We will gather virtually to play games, watch and discuss 2 short films, and chat. Bring your own dinner, pet, pajamas, craft projects, or whatever you like and hang out with fellow Open Circle & CVC participants for an evening of friendship, relaxation, and laughter.

With special GUEST APPEARANCE by Sidartha Murjani, actor, independent filmmaker, and former Open Circle and CVC member

We will be watching and discussing Sidartha Murjani’s short film, The Interview:

  • 16 official selections, 9 awards and 3 nominations
  • https://vimeo.com/ondemand/theinterviewhappiness?fbclid=IwAR26iWTws1aCj2ufd9WsLpFeOu_9QfC656XlWkNdTm_JEbPeWG1pqpwT8uY
  • WARNING THIS MOVIE MIGHT MAKE YOU SMILE, FEEL LIGHT HEARTED AND FORGET THE NEGATIVITY FOR 14 minutes and 9 seconds
  • Synopsis: Where does true happiness come from? Your lover? Your material wealth? People's validation? What is the true value of your life? A man walks into an unconventional interview that may change his life.
  • I think this is a time we should take to reflect on what is important in our lives, I realized when making this movie, we are so obsessed with goals, myself included. We have this idea in our head that once we reach that milestone in the future, we will be happy....is that true though? MOST OF US ARE EITHER WEIGHED BY THE PAST OR SEDUCED BY THE FUTURE. Can we be ok with where we are?
