SPECIAL SCREENING: Two Days Only!
November 16 and 17, 2020
Some Serious Business and We Can Listen Present
Because our voices must be heard. Because we are actively involved in the history of resistance and our horizons for the future depend upon it. Because Black Lives Matter, Some Serious Business and our partner, We Can Listen, are pleased to offer a special, free online screening of TIPPING POINT, a documentary film about the largest civil rights protest in U.S. history and how Portland, Oregon emerged as its epicenter. Told through the individual stories of Portlanders on the ground, TIPPING POINT humanizes the struggle while allowing Portland’s story to serve as a mirror for all of America — the past that brought us here and the future we choose.
Directed by Jon Meyer. Produced by TOC in Association with Some Serious Business. Presented by WE CAN LISTEN. Co-produced by Julianne R. Johnson.

About Some Serious Business
The Artist Always Comes First
Artists have always been in the forefront of social and cultural innovation. That is what SSB means by always putting the artist first. The art comes first. SSB offers culminating presentations of new performances, works in progress, and intimate, focused interludes and salons. The roots of SSB are a highly collaborative partnership model that supports creators throughout the lifespan of their projects: offering resources to incubate emerging ideas, germinate new work, and present those works to the public. This emphasis on the complete ecology of art making is informed by artists, presenters, activists, and audiences at the forefront of ambitious work. A network of sites, environments, and virtual platforms encourage creators to look beyond conventional choices in production and outcomes, and for audiences to experience directly the radical embodiment of the art of our time.
