Documentary filmmaker Jonathan Olshefski presents his first feature-length film: QUEST.

Quest was filmed with vérité intimacy for over a decade, and is a moving portrait of a family in North Philadelphia set against the backdrop of a country now in turmoil. Olshefski’s intimate style emphasizes the beautiful complexity of relationships, and serves as an example of how an American family goes about healing and persevering. Quest premiered at the 2017 Sundance Festival. Presented by director, John Olshefski and producer, Sabrina Schmidt Gordon.

Preceded by a potluck dinner.
