It’s profoundly evocative, with spoken memories and moments of inability to muster the words gut-punching with equal measure. The landscape of the communities’ culture as a backdrop – stunning, sprawling topography and a score of diegetic traditional soundscapes – counters the revelation of tragedies with the reminder of the colorful, resilient culture that persists." —RogerEbert.comAbout "We Survived the Night"WINNER OF THE TADEUSZ BRADECKI PRIZE • A stunning narrative from one of the most powerful young writers at work today, and the director of the Oscar®-nominated documentary, Sugarcane, We Survived the Night interweaves oral history with hard-hitting journalism and a deeply personal father-son journey into a searing portrait of Indigenous survival, love, and resurgence.“Julian Brave NoiseCat seamlessly connects true tales of identity and betrayal, love and abandonment, clarity and confusion. We Survived the Night is a whirling, radiant gift to the reader.” —Louise Erdrich, author of The Night WatchmanWatch the trailer for "Sugarcane" here.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:00 PMDoors Open🕑: 07:00 PM - 08:50 PMScreening of "Sugarcane"🕑: 09:00 PM - 09:30 PMQ&A with Julian Brave NoiseCat🕑: 09:30 PM - 10:00 PMLight Refreshments and Hors D'oeuvres - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berkeley/screening-of-sugarcane-with-director-julian-brave-noisecat/100001993055633050 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, entertainment, festivals, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 17+ - Duration: 3 hours - Location: David Brower Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Berkeley - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: David Brower Center - **lat**: 37.8694391 - **long**: -122.26644880000003 - **full address**: David Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Screening of "Sugarcane" with Director Julian Brave NoiseCat - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/aeb4847d245d40de2c56c4ecdba4fcf5f8988f89fcb4957add9baf27f1064921-rimg-w1200-h618-dcc4c5ac-gmir.jpg?v=1784055008 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Screening of "Sugarcane" with Director Julian Brave NoiseCat being held? - **A:** Screening of "Sugarcane" with Director Julian Brave NoiseCat takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at David Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Screening of "Sugarcane" with Director Julian Brave NoiseCat? - **A:** Screening of "Sugarcane" with Director Julian Brave NoiseCat is strictly for guests aged 17 and above.
