San Juan Island Library

The Friday Harbor Film Festival presents a free screening of " Rebel with a Clause " on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 7 PM, held simultaneously at the San Juan Island Library, Lopez Island Library, and Shaw Island Community Building. A 2025 FHFF Audience Choice nominee for Best "Explorers & Adventures" Feature Film, the documentary follows grammarian Ellen Jovin and filmmaker husband Brandt Johnson as they carry their viral "Grammar Table" across all 50 states, sparking unexpected conversations about language, division, and human connection; the screening is followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with director Brandt Johnson and Grammar Table founder Ellen Jovin. The event is part of FHFF's Best of the Fest series, offering free monthly documentary screenings January through September across the San Juan Islands, ahead of the 14th Annual Friday Harbor Film Festival running October 22–25, 2026. More information and the full Best of the Fest Film Guide are available at fhff.org (https://www.fhff.org/).

Join us at the San Juan Island Library to celebrate and hear from Waldron Island poets Sam and Sally Green on the release of two new poetry volumes. Friday Harbor's Gary Thompson will introduce Sam and Sally and read from his own work, too.
