SUMMARY:Democracy Noir:  A Chilling Expose of Far-Right Authoritarianism  in Hungary... and America
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FILMSCENE \nAcademy Award nominated and Emmy winning director Connie Field is a pioneering social documentary filmmaker. Before getting involved in film she worked as an organizer in many social and human rights organizations where she established her commitment to progressive social change which she has carried into her film career. Many of her films focus on hidden histories\, stories that had not been told before which should be an important part of our collective memories. Her work has been broadcast in over 30 countries including Japan\, Brazil\, South Africa\, Britain\, Australia\, Denmark\, Germany\, France\, Spain\, England\, and in the US. She is a recipient of the John Grierson Award as most outstanding social documentarian\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. \nDemocracy Noir provides a sweeping account of one of the most consequential regimes of this century. It paints an incisive portrait of how Viktor Orbán used a free and democratic election to install authoritarian rule in Hungary\, enjoying widespread approval from Hungarian nationalists as well as global conservatives inclined to his illiberal views. He changed the constitution\, took over the courts\, dismantled the rule of law\, and took over the media. Revered by Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation\, Orban’s influence helped shape Project 2025 and the current policies of the Republican Party. The film is a timely lesson on how the rise of autocratic politicians around the world\, and an increasingly emboldened far right politic\, pose dire consequences for us all. \nDemocracy Noir: A Chilling Expose of Far-Right Authoritarianism in Hungary… and America \nSUNDAY\, MARCH 8\, 2026\n12 PM – 2:30 PM\nFILMSCENE AT THE CHAUNCEY \n​Hosted by ICFRC Executive Director Peter Gerlach

SUMMARY:The Great American Bison Road Trip
DESCRIPTION:The University of Iowa Museum of Natural History is a featured stop on a historic cross-country journey celebrating the American bison. Three larger-than-life bronze bison sculptures\, created for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History\, will arrive in Iowa City as part of a road trip from Colorado to Washington\, D.C. This national journey is party of the Smithsonian’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, highlighting the bison’s enduring cultural\, ecological\, and scientific significance as the national mammal of the United States of America.\n\nThe sculptures will be parked outside the museum throughout the day\, offering a rare opportunity to see them up close before they continue their trek to DC for permanent installation on the National Mall. Inside the museum\, visitors are invited to a special bison-focused program featuring short talks and up-close experiences. Pentacrest Museums Director Liz Crooks (now officially dubbed a “Bison Ambassador”) will discuss Iowa’s long history and connections with bison\, highlighting ties to the museums’ founders\, collections\, and exhibits. Smithsonian content experts will share perspectives on bison history\, science\, conservation\, the bronze sculptures\, the national road trip\, and the forthcoming exhibitions in DC.\nThe program will conclude with close-look tables featuring bison research collections\, a visit to museum galleries with bison connections\, and a farewell gathering outside to wave off the bronze bison as they depart for their next stop.\nThe day’s events are free and open to the public.
