We feel that Shortbus is an important film to show and discuss for the issues it raises and the anxieties it provokes, however, it deserves a more serious and thoughtful environment to take up audience reactions. For those of you who are interested in joining us for a viewing and discussion of Shortbus, we are currently planning an event in which we will provide a space to talk about the complicated issues the film raises in the context of clinical practice. Please stay tuned for details... For April 11th, we are very pleased to announce that we will be screening All About My Mother, the award-winning 1999 film written and directed by the Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar. Join us at the Variety Children's Charity Preview Room in San Francisco for wine and refreshments before we view and discuss this highly acclaimed film. We encourage you to stay after the film and enjoy the minds of your fellow clinicians as we all react and respond to what we've seen. This informal event will be a great way to connect with your clinical peers in a relaxed yet stimulating setting. All are welcome at this event, including current NCSPP members, prospective members, friends, partners, colleagues, and more. About All About My Mother A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. However, the night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness. That same night, while waiting in the hospital, she reads the last lines written by her son in a notebook that he always kept by his side. "This morning I looked through my mother's bedroom until I found a stack of photographs. All of them were cut in half. My father, I suppose. I have the impression that my life is missing that same half. I want to meet him, I don't care who he is, or how he treated my mother. No one can take that right away from me." In memory of her son, Manuela leaves Madrid and goes to Barcelona in search of his father. She wants to tell him that their son's last written words were directed to him, even though he never knew his father. But first she has to tell him that, when she abandoned him eighteen years ago, she was pregnant, they had a son, and he has just died. She must also tell him that she named their son Esteban, like his biological father, before he changed his name to Lola.
