Director Spotlight: Travis Hanour
Screening August 8 | Mahsa (or the Girl That Ate Her Way Home) | The Cultural Stage, Rainier Beach

Known for his poetic realism and human-centered storytelling, Travis Hanour brings a distinct voice to both the commercial and documentary world. His work—anchored in themes of identity, resilience, and cultural belonging—has a quiet power that stays with you. Whether it’s Rift, The Ice, or Mahsa, his films speak with emotional truth and visual care.

Catch Mahsa on August 8 and experience the depth of a filmmaker who doesn’t just tell stories—he listens to them first.

Director Spotlight: Mohammed Almughanni

This Friday, we’re honored to screen “An Orange from Yaffa”, a powerful film by Gaza-born director and screenwriter Mohammed Almughanni.

Born in 1994 and now based in Poland, Almughanni’s work boldly confronts themes of racial justice and the human cost of war. A graduate of the prestigious Łódź Film School, his storytelling has earned international acclaim at IDFA (2023), Ji.hlava (2020), and Clermont-Ferrand (2024).

An Orange from Yaffa is more than a film; it’s a testament to resilience, identity, and the voices often unheard.

Join us Friday for this unforgettable screening and a celebration of bold, urgent cinema.

It’s a busy week at SkyLit! This week, we’re in final production for the upcoming production of Newsies by Hi-Liners Musical Theater at the Highline Performing Arts Center, we provided AV services for the Be’er Sheva Concert by Seattle Parks Foundation this past Wednesday and we’ll be back at Be’er Sheva Park for the Joe Brazil Musical Festival on Sunday.

To ensure our team performs at their best, we’ll be calling off this Saturday’s Sounds of the Summer Breeze and getting some much needed rest out of the summer heat. We got some exciting performances for the August 2nd concert so stay tuned!
