7:00pm – 9:00pm |Join BloomBars and TransAfrica as we present a collection of short films by Namibian filmmaker, Vickson Hangula.
Place of Peace A film about missing people who, after a while, come back with a new vision of themselves and the world. Place of Peace takes the viewer to a mystic Namibia that can be for some a “place of peace.” (Directed by Vickson Hangula, 2012, 32 min, Drama, English).
Once We Were Hunters Hunting was essential for the survival of the Ju/hoansi Tribe. Director Vickson Hangula gives a voice to a member of this tribe so they can talk about the changes in their lives as modernization influences their traditions. (Directed by Vickson Hangula, 2011, 48 min, Docu-drama, English and Ju, with English subtitles).
After our film, we will have Q&A discussion with Namibian filmmaker Vickson Hangula.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
