According to the Pickford’s website,  July Rhapsody is “a profound and soothing tale about how one paddles through life’s chaos as many seemingly eternal inspiration sources of times, like the Yangtze River, quietly fade away.”

July Rhapsody is co-sponsored by CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival. Their festival runs from April 24 to April 27. and Cheryl Crooks, Executive Director of CASCADIA, will be present during the evening screening to say a few words about the festival.
