An art exhibition and fundraiser supporting the women-led animated feature documentary, Pour the Water as I Leave, currently in production in Portland, OR. Pour the Water as I Leave is a 90-minute animated, narrative/documentary hybrid feature film. It tells a story about what happened to Bosnians 25 years ago and how it relates to refugees all over the world today.

In this exhibition, we will immerse you in the filmmaking process. You will view hand-drawn animation cels and animated excerpts from the film by Daniela Repas, the Bosnian-born and Portland-based director, animator, and creator of Pour the Water as I Leave, plus see behind-the-scenes photography by Simone Fischer.

During the month of March, we will host in-person events. The most exciting and critical event of this exhibition is the Closing Night Fundraiser Party at 5 pm on March 31, 2023. Tickets are $50 and tax-deductible.
