Fall Film Program

Tuesday, October 27, 6:30 pm
Disappeared Juan Mandelbaum returns to his native Argentina as part of a personal search for friends and loved ones who were caught in Dirty Little War during the military dictatorship 1976-1983 where over 30,000 disappeared. He finds out that a former girlfriend, Patricia, is among the missing. In Argentina, he uncovers stories of people he knew and the horrors that they were subjected to by the government.

Tuesday, November 3, 6:30 pm
Shine A Light Martin Scorsese does more than document a 2006 Rolling Stones concert at New York’s Beacon Theatre. He fashions a perfect storm of music and showmanship. With his distinctive editing style and well-chosen archival interviews, he chronicles a journey taken by old friends who’ve performed together for 45 years, exploring new territory: the sexagenarian rock‘n roll band. Mick Jagger is still amazingly fit with the rest of the band following his lead.

Tuesday, November 10, 6:30 pm
Harvard Beats Yale Kevin Rafferty, a Harvard undergrad who attended this game highlights this critical moment in college football history with the incredible 1968 game between the undefeated teams of Harvard and Yale. Against the backdrop of a decade of war, activism, drugs, and sex, and the recent assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., this documentary recalls a glorious victory in an otherwise controversial time. The players themselves tell the story including actor Tommy Lee Jones, Harvard offensive lineman and Al Gore’s roommate.

Tuesday, November 17, 6:30 pm
The Garden Scott Hamilton Kennedy’s documentary follows the 2004 struggle to save a thriving 14-acre urban farm in South Central LA, California. Established by the city in 1992 after the 1992 LA riots, the garden was not only a food source, but a symbol of the human spirit. Threatened by the pending sale of their garden, the farmers, mostly low-income Latino immigrants unite to fight the system, only to find social injustice and political corruption, racism and disillusionment. In the process, the farmers learn that they have a voice and right to be heard. It was nominated for a 2009 Academy Award.

Tuesday, November 24, 6:30 pm
Food, Inc. Robert Kenner tackles the food industry in this alarming documentary on the corporate takeover of U.S. agriculture. He contends that a few food superpowers, driven solely by greed to increase production also control our diets, while the USDA and FDA ignore, or consent to, their exploitation of the consumer. The film provides encouragement to break free from and take charge of the national problems of obesity, diabetes and new strains of e coli bacteria which are indications of a broken system.

Tuesday, December 1, 6:30 pm
Araya Benacerraf captures the life of the Venezuelan salineros and their backbreaking work in breathtaking images. The Peredas family works at night in the salt marshes, the Ortiz are fishermen and the Salaz collect salt. The three stories underline the harsh life of this region—all of which vanished with the arrival of industrial exploitation. Araya was originally compared to Flaherty’s Man of Aran & Visconti’s La Terra Trema (1947). Margot Benacerraf has described the film as “a cinematic narration based on script writing rather than a spontaneous action, a
feature documentary, the opposite of Italian neorealism” A film of such lasting beauty that Jean Renoir told Benacerraf after seeing the film: “Above all…don’t cut a single image!”

Tuesday, December 8, 6:30 pm
Still Walking Kore-eda’s [Afterlife & Nobody Knows] quiet drama is being compared with Ozu’s Tokyo Story. In 24 hours, an elderly couple unite with their family for the 15th time to mark the anniversary of their son’s death in childhood. The remaining siblings, a boy and girl are grown now. The son lives in the shadow of his brother while desiring to be accepted for his own accomplishments.

POWER TRIP Paul Devlin (2004) 85 min They say that power corrupts, and nowhere is that more literally true than in Tbilisi, the capital of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Electrical power, using it, stealing it, supplying it, and even dying for it, is the focus of Power Trip, a fascinating documentary by Paul Devlin. Can AES-Telasi, the American-owned, privatized electric company in Tbilisi, convince residents to pay for power that costs twice the average monthly salary? Even if citizens do pay, will political deceit and widespread disrepair keep Tbilisi in the dark? Power Trip is a humorous, heartbreaking look at the culture clash between corporate power suppliers and citizens as they feel their way through post-Soviet Georgia, where corruption, civil war, and chaos are everyday occurrences, but electricity might not be.Can AES-Telasi, the American-owned, privatized electric company in Tbilisi, Georgia convince residents to pay for power that costs twice the average monthly salary?

SHUT UP AND SING Barbara Kopple (2006) 93 min This documentary captures the female country-&-western group the Dixie Chicks in performance around the U.S. and London between the years 2003 and 2006. While performing in 2003, singer Natalie Maines ignited a maelstrom of controversy and red-state outrage when she declared -- from a London stage on the eve of the Iraqi conflict -- that she was ashamed that President George W. Bush was from her home state of Texas. When a rabidly right-wing group picked up on it, the band found themselves in the center of controversy regarding the nature of patriotism, freedom of speech, feminism, and the split between pro- and anti-war Americans. Filmmaker Barbara Kopple brings us the fly-on-the-wall view of the next three years, capturing Haines and sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire in dressing rooms, on stage, and in recording studios, bonding with each other, their families, producer Rick Rubin, and their supportive manager, Simon Renshaw. Through the crises, they keep their sense of humor and sisterhood, not backing down from their liberal stance, and turning the backlash into a triumph. They also make some great music, and the film includes plenty of riveting, intense footage of the band in performance onstage and in the studio. Among the faces appearing in archival footage are President Bush, Bill Maher, and right-wing country star Toby Keith.Using witness testimony, expert analysis, news footage, and corroborating evidence this explosive and important film tells us that the official story of 9/11 is false. Starring George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, Philip Zelikow, Dan Rather, the late Peter Jennings, contributors from Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, firefighters, first responders and 9/11 victims, the film exposes the inconsistencies and lies put forward by our government about 9/11, the crime of the century. This movie is sure to spark tough questions from its viewers. Regardless of your political stance, this movie is sure to keep you awake for weeks. You will probably never look at your government and media the same way again.

HOME OF THE BRAVE Nancy Dickenson (2004) 75 min. A documentary that explores a little-remembered event in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, HOME OF THE BRAVE tells the story of Viola Liuzzo, the only white woman murdered during the struggle. Liuzzo traveled from her home in Detroit to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965 to take part in a march, and was shot dead for her efforts. The case made headlines around the country, and President Lyndon Johnson told the FBI to make finding her killers one of its top priorities. However, the trial of a group of Ku Klux Klan members for her murder ended without a conviction. This documentary takes another look at the case and its evidence, including some disturbing information about the FBI's investigation, and focuses attention on Liuzzo's children many years afterwards, who are all linked by a massive distrust of the government and its institutions. HOME OF THE BRAVE explores both a forgotten event of the Civil Rights movement as well as examining how the government often fails to protect its citizens.did something terribly wrong, but it's to Zenovich's credit that she doesn't dwell on this point. Instead she forms a harsh critique of a justice system that allows people like Rittenband to operate freely. The only missing part of the puzzle is the judge himself, who died in '93. But the body of evidence against his actions is skillfully dissected in this impressive feature.

THE INNER TOUR Ra'anan Alexandrowicz (2002) 98 min. A deeply affecting documentary that addresses the Middle Eastern conflict with a penetrating eye. The film follows a group of Palestinians as they embark on a three-day bus tour through Israel in 2000, just months before the historical Arab-Israeli war recommenced. What at first appears to be a diverse group of men, women, and children, with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds, quickly gels into a tight unit of countrymen who are living under the shadow of the wealthy, more powerful Israel. Every one of these visitors' lives has been in some way affected by Israel, yet it isn't until a trip to a museum - in which Arabs are presented as cold-blooded murderers - that their anger begins to show. As the journey unfolds, the tourists are forced to confront emotions they didn't know they had in them. The burdensome weight of these feelings turns the trip into more than just a relaxing vacation; it becomes an emotionally draining experience that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Alexandrowicz uses this rare opportunity to his advantage by showing just how hopelessly convoluted the Middle Eastern conflict actually is.

THIN Lauren Greenfield (2006) 105 min. Eating disorders have reached epidemic levels in America–yet only recently have they been recognized as serious mental illnesses. One in seven people with anorexia nervosa will die, making it the deadliest of all psychiatric diagnoses. With Thin, Lauren Greenfield, a photographer acclaimed for illuminating women's and society's attitudes toward the female body, gains unprecedented access to a Florida residential treatment center to observe four anorexic women, aged 15 to 30, struggling to recover over a six-month period. Her intimate, unflinching, yet unobtrusive, camera ventures into private and painful rituals like early morning weigh-ins, one-on-one and group therapy sessions, confrontations with staff, and tormenting mealtimes. As individual dramas surface and convoluted group dynamics erupt, the frightening tenacity and complexity of this affliction emerge. While each woman's fight is unique, abusing the body as a means of asserting control and measuring self-worth seems common to all. One patient shockingly admits that being thin is her greatest ambition: "If it takes dying to get there, so be it." The film's flawless vérité approach engenders closeness and emotional investment in the characters and allows us to draw our own conclusions about the treatment protocol and an insurance system unwilling to accommodate patients' wishes. Thin offers haunting, groundbreaking insight into the tangle of personal, familial, and cultural factors–beyond mere self-esteem or body-image issues–that produce the immeasurable, confounding suffering of so many.

HOLES IN HEAVEN New Science Ideas (2005) 60 min. HAARP (or High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) is a controversial high-frequency radio transmitter operated by the U.S. military which beams high-level energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere. Ostensibly for ionospheric research, HAARP can also be used to locate hidden oil reserves and missile silos around the world. However, critics of HAARP say it could blow a massive hole in the upper atmosphere as well as disrupt the subtle magnetic energies of all life on Earth. This fascinating film narrated by Martin Sheen employs a journalistically balanced style to investigate a subject that could have a dramatic effect on us all.

Exhibitions

Saturday, June 12, 2010 through Sunday, September 5, 2010
Andrew Wyeth: An American Legend The exhibition, organized by The Hyde Collection, will introduce the broad span of work by this most beloved American artist. Curated by Hyde Executive Director David F. Setford and Deputy Director and Chief Curator Erin B. Coe, the exhibition will seek to unravel the myth surrounding Wyeth and understand the man behind the paintbrush. According to Setford, “This will be the first opportunity since the artist’s death earlier this year to begin to critically reevaluate his contribution to and position in American art of the twentieth century.”
The exhibition will feature sections devoted to early coastal watercolors and landscape paintings, as well as a look at Wyeth’s models, his interest in vernacular architecture, and his connection to both the Regionalist tradition and Magic Realism.
The exhibition will comprise approximately fifty works, with the core coming from the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine. Featured in the exhibition will be examples of the artist’s works created in dry brush, watercolor, pencil, and tempera - including The Hyde’s own Wyeth watercolor – The Ledge and the Island, 1937- as well as works on loan from museums and private collections. “By showing the spectrum of the artist’s subject matter and his masterful skill in a variety of media, we expect the exhibition to appeal to a very broad audience,” said Coe.

JEFF DUNHAM and his OUTRAGEOUS suitcase posse Jeff Dunham brings his unstoppable laughs to the Glens Falls Civic Center. Dunham has taken the art of ventriloquism to new heights and has transformed it into a cutting-edge comedy experience that has gained worldwide appeal.
Time magazine declared him “perhaps the most popular stand-up comedian in the U.S.” Concurrently, Forbes named Dunham as one of the most powerful celebrity in the world on its Celebrity 100 list, noting in an accompanying article how Dunham is “third-highest-earning comedian in America behind Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock” and had the top-grossing North American comedy tour of 2008. And Dunham’s rise as well as the expansion of his reach and impact rolls on as he debuts a weekly TV series, publishes his first book, takes his highly-successful line of merchandise out to general retail and embarks on a 60-date Comedy Central Live tour beginning in September.
As Slate recently observed, “By every conceivable measure, Jeff Dunham is America’s favorite comedian.” And with his TV series, book, continuing tour appearances, merchandise and more within Dunham’s comprehensive deal with Comedy Central, even greater levels of popularity and record-breaking success are certain to follow.
