Fastenal Parallel 45 Cup Rollerski Loppet
The inaugural Fastenal Parallel 45 Rollerski Loppet is an event which will certainly be one to remember! A criterium-style race on rollerskis is an opportunity that does not happen every day… now is your chance to take part or witness such an event!
As a special guest, Minnesota’s own Jessie Diggins will compete with an autograph session to follow!
Freestyle technique. Competitors ski laps for 8-15 minutes (depending on division). After the initial time elapses, a bell is rung as the leader crosses the lap line. Competitors then complete 2 or 3 more laps (depending on division). The first skier to complete those laps wins. Any skier who is lapped at any time is removed from the race. All racers are required to use the matched set rollerskis provided by the Loppet Foundation.
Time: 9am - Noon
Location: Meet at the intersection of 6th Avenue SE and 2nd Street SE
We'll provide gloves, you bring a trowel!

Minneapolis Ghost Walk at Mill Ruins Park
Join us to learn legends, ghost stories, mysteries, and more of downtown Minneapolis - hear real history, real experiences, and learn the truth behind the folklore.
While there's nothing too gruesome or inappropriate for children, there's no rent-a-ghouls jumping out at you, these are real stories through exhaustive research and interviews. Some kids like historical stories and some kids don't.
The walk is a breezy mile and a half over 90-120 minutes depending on the group. If you are in a wheelchair, please let us know in advance and we can adjust the route accordingly so you can join us!
The MSP Film Society announces the complete line-up and special guests for the 7th Annual Cine Latino Film Festival. Held November 1-7 at the St. Anthony Main Theatre, Cine Latino features a tapestry of award-winning narrative and documentary films from across the globe from some of the world’s most acclaimed and up-andcoming Spanish- and Portuguese-language filmmakers.
As the region’s only showcase of Latin American and Ibero cinema, MSP Film Society developed Cine Latino in response to demand from both global cinephiles and the growing Spanish-speaking populations in Minnesota, curating the annual series of films from countries with rich filmmaking histories and cutting-edge film industries.
“The Latin American and Ibero cinematic traditions have long explored the rich and contentious histories of their various nations, shedding light onto complex political legacies while reflecting the regions’ intoxicating mix of cultures,” said Hebe Tabachnik, Artistic Director of Cine Latino. “Today, a new generation of insightful and uncompromised storytellers are diving headlong into their respective nations’ histories and the pressing realities of our current moment.”
“We are immensely grateful to the individuals and community organizations collaborating with us to present this year’s Cine Latino,” said MSP Film Society’s Executive Director Susan Smoluchowski. “We see these growing partnerships, including many representatives of the diverse Spanish-speaking communities here in MN and abroad, as a testament to the cultural importance of this unique annual celebration of Latin American and Iberian cinema:”
Opening Night of Cine Latino on November 1 will feature films from Spain (The Prado Museum: A Collection of Wonders), Mexico (Lives with Flavor), and Colombia (Litigante), with special guests including the Mexican director of Lives with Flavor, Ruth Zachs Babani, a delegation from Minneapolis’s sister city Cuernavaca, Mexico and diplomatic guests from Mexico, Spain and Colombia.
Closing Night of Cine Latino on November 7 will feature Children of Maria and Marighella, the debut feature by director Wagner Moura (Narcos, Elite Squad), which has been battling political and bureaucratic hurdles and has yet to be released in its home country of Brazil.
All films screening in the 2019 Cine Latino Film Festival are Minnesota Premieres! The complete line-up and screening times for Cine Latino is available at MSPfilm.org.
All-Access Passes, 3-Packs, and 6-Packs are now on sale at MSPfilm.org. Single tickets go on sale to the general public on October 14.
Cine Latino is presented by the MSP Film Society, Minnesota’s leading non-profit exhibitor of international independent cinema. Our mission is to foster a knowledgeable and vibrant appreciation of the art of film from around the globe and its power to inform and transform individuals and communities.
