Strength. Stamina. Sequins. Perfect follows the Canadian synchronized swimming team beyond the beauty, to the brawn it takes to be an Olympic athlete. With unprecedented access to the team and their trainer, Perfect highlights this determined, strong and hard working group of women in their quest to make it to the Olympics through the most grueling year of their lives. From Montreal to Bratislava, Kazan and Puerto Rico, battling eating disorders, dislocated knees and crushing losses, these girls never give up. And more importantly, they never stop smiling.

These screenings are free of admissions. Drop in, no reservations.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
