‘Four Winters” to cover resistance during World War II

SANTA BARBARA — The

“Four Winters” will screen at 7 p.m. March 7 at Paseo Nuevo Cinemas on lower State Street.

A Q & A will follow. The documentary is about the resistance during World War II by young men and women, ages 17-21. It happened in the area of Ukraine now in war once again.

More than 25,000 Jewish partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of World War II’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous resistance fighters, according to a news release about the documentary. These last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in “Four Winters,” revealing a narrative of heroism and resilience. For more information, go to fourwintersfilm.com.

Goleta Union Elementary School District. As the community continues to return to this type of pre-pandemic activity, members are hoping to resume their volunteer roles in providing this important instruction to young people in the community. A unique activity of the GVAA is a critique presented by the juror of each show providing specific professional guidance to each artist.

“These critiques, provided through the generosity of our jurors, amount to nothing less than master classes with some of the best artists in our region,” said Terre Martin Sanitate, vice president who oversees organization of the exhibitions. “They are an invaluable resource for GVAA members.” Current board members besides Ms. Flanagan and Ms. Sanitate are Louise Komp, treasurer; Merith Cosden, secretary; Patricia Heller, special events; Dawn King, newsletter; Jan Smith, membership and Lynn Altschul, member at large. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com
