POSTPONED

Permission for PortSide’s remaining June events was revoked by the EDC Friday, 6/16 as we all were waiting for paperwork from another party. PortSide tried to resolve things this week and could not by the weekend.  Very sorry if this affects your plans.  We’ll share an update when we have news.

TankerFlicks is back with a series of films about strivers.  There may be no more perfect place to see Secret of the Grain (2007) than on the deck of the Mary Whalen. A perfect ending to the day’s Tanker Tours of the Mary Whalen, part of her 85th berthday celebration.

The Secret of the Grain is a feature film that tells a “touching and resoundingly humanistic story set in the rustic port of Sete in southeastern France. Slimane has worked in the same shipyard job for over 35 years, when his growing dissatisfaction prompts him to try to open his own restaurant aboard a retired oil tanker. His dream seems unbelievable, but his contagious conviction and persistence work their way into the hearts of his loyal but dispersed family.  Film is in French and Arabic with English subtitles.
