LIT Movie Sunday kicks off on April 16 with a special screening of “For Vegas” followed by a Q&A with director and Las Vegas native Robin Greenspun along with exiled Egyptian writer Ahmed Najihe at Segue. Winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2023 DC Independent Film Festival and recipient of the Award of Excellence at the Docs Without Borders International Film Festival, “For Vegas” follows Ahmed as he finds his foothold in his adoptive city, striving to understand not only his own life as a writer in exile but the life of a city whose roots were founded as a waystation, a temporary stop for so many over its storied history.
In celebration of Poetry Month, a new progressive presenter series and a pre-show feature entitled FOREWORD makes its debut on April 20 with Las Vegas-based poet Elle Hope, who will introduce a screening of the sci-fi musical movie poem “Neptune Frost.”
