TSL Movies December 5 - December 12
n American Dharma — No stranger to interviewing some of the most controversial figures of our time, Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Unknown Known) trains his lens on Stephen K. Bannon, questioning him closely about his beliefs, current feelings about President Trump, and films that shaped and continue to animate Bannon’s understanding of the world. Morris concludes that whatever one thinks of Bannon, ignoring him is the most dangerous course of action. 2019. 1h37m.
n The Kingmaker — Centered on the indomitable character of Imelda Marcos, the documentary examines, with intimate access, the Marcos family’s improbable return to power in the Philippines. The film explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and chronicles Imelda’s present-day push to help her son, Bongbong, win the vice presidency. To this end, Imelda confidently rewrites her family’s history of corruption, replacing it with a narrative of a matriarch’s extravagant love for her country. In an age when fake news manipulates elections, Imelda’s comeback story serves as a dark cautionary tale. 2019. 1h40m
n Varda by Agnes — The final film from the late, beloved Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director’s own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, she acts as our spirit guide on a free-associative tour through her six-decade artistic journey, shedding light on her films, photography, and recent installation works while offering her one-of-a-kind reflections on everything from filmmaking to feminism to aging. Suffused with the people, places, and things she loved – Jacques Demy, cats, colors, beaches, heart-shaped potatoes – this wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema’s most luminous talents. In French with subtitles. 2019. 2h.
n The Servant (1963) — Posh Tony (James Fox) hires the seemingly proper and very attentive Barrett (Dirk Bogarde) as his manservant. Tony’s lady friend, Susan (Wendy Craig), disapproves of the ever-unflappable Barrett, which causes a strain in the couple’s relationship. When Barrett’s “sister,” Vera (Sarah Miles), arrives to stay, the situation descends into depravity, with the servant vying to become the new master of the house. 1963. 1h55m.
n Mickey and the Bear — It’s April in Anaconda, Montana, and headstrong teenager Mickey Peck (Camila Morrone) is doing what she can to keep her veteran father, Hank (James Badge Dale), afloat, navigating his mercurial moods, opioid addiction, and grief over the loss of his wife. Secretly, Mickey fantasizes of going to college on the west coast and finally living life on her own terms. When Hank’s controlling, jealous behavior turns destructive, Mickey must decide between familial obligation and personal fulfillment as she puts everything on the line to claim her own independence. 2019. 1h29m.
n Synonyms — Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlinale, the latest from Nadav Lapid (The Kindergarten Teacher) features a dynamic lead performance from newcomer Tom Mercier, whose feral intensity practically bursts out of the frame. Mercier plays Yoav, a disaffected young Israeli who flees Tel Aviv for Paris to start a new life. Desperate to erase his origins, Yoav sees becoming French as his only hope for salvation. Step one is to replace his language. From now on, he will not utter a single word of Hebrew and his dictionary becomes his constant companion. His work at the Israeli embassy is a burden, but studying for his naturalization test also has its pitfalls. And the young French couple he befriends has some rather strange ideas about how to help him. Based on writer-director Nadav Lapid’s own experiences, Synonyms explores the challenges of putting down roots in a new place. In French with subtitles. 2019. 2h03m.
n The Hottest August — A complex portrait of a city and its inhabitants, The Hottest August gives us a window into the collective consciousness of the present. The film’s point of departure is one city over one month: New York City, including its outer boroughs, during August 2017. It’s a month heavy with the tension of a new President, growing anxiety over everything from rising rents to marching white nationalists, and unrelenting news of either wildfires or hurricanes on every coast. The film pivots on the question of futurity: what does the future look like from where we are standing? And what if we are not all standing in the same place? The Hottest August offers a mirror onto a society on the verge of catastrophe, registering the anxieties, distractions, and survival strategies that preoccupy ordinary lives. 2019. 1h34m.

Anne Heaton and Natalia Zukerman: An Evening of Songs and Stories
Join Natalia Zukerman and Anne Heaton for a multimedia evening of songs and stories excerpted from Natalia’s latest show “The Women Who Rode Away” and from Anne’s upcoming album and storybook “To the Light”
Singer-songwriter and pianist Anne Heaton has captured audience imaginations for over fifteen years with her songs that are, by turns, “tender, barbed and spiritual” (Washington Post). She’s been featured by the New York Times Popcast, played numerous times on NPR and shared the stage with artists such as Jewel, Sarah McLachlan and jazz drummer Max Roach. The New York Times music podcast called her music “absolutely gorgeous” and with “To the Light,” her seventh studio album, due out this November, Heaton is surrendering to her love of collaboration more than ever before.

Winter Celebrations: The Lights of Many Cultures
Saturday, December 7, 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Winter celebrations around the world are as varied and vibrant as the cultures they epitomize. One common thread through many of these celebrations is the presence of light. Light in its many forms is used to represent the hope for spring’s return, the importance of the sun in agricultural cycles, to welcome guests and remember loved ones, and symbolize the resiliency of the human spirit. Light brings people together.
The staff at Martin Van Buren National Historic Site invites the public to join us for “Winter Celebrations: The Lights of Many Cultures. The Garden Club of Kinderhook will decorate the first floor of Van Buren’s home. Park staff and volunteer docents will be available to explain both the history of the site and the meaning behind the decorations. The house will be open for tours from 12:30 to 3:30 both days, with a tour beginning every half hour.
The event is free, but due to limited space in the mansion, we ask that visitors reserve a spot on a tour in advance. Visitors may make reservations online at any time at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/winter-celebrations-the-lights-of-many-cultures-tickets-82013549735 or by phone Monday-Friday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm by calling 518-758-9689.
Please plan to check in at the park visitor center fifteen minutes before the beginning of your tour. The Friends of Lindenwald will provide light refreshments.
The America of Martin Van Buren’s time was a rich tapestry of cultures with their own traditions, learning from each other and at times combining to form new traditions. The America of today is the same. Our celebrations represent the brightest parts of that tapestry – the ability to see our differences not as barriers, but as many lights illuminating the darkness.

Opening Reception
Saturday, December 7, 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Gallery at 46 Green Street is pleased to present its latest exhibit “BLUE.”
Blue has multiple meanings in an array of cultural constructs that have no basis in fact. Although the word has a common association with melancholy, there are Japanese studies that show that neighborhoods that were continuously exposed to blue light report a reduction in suicide rates. While blue is often associated with coolness, in astronomy a Doppler “blue shift” indicates that a star is hotter than others. Common associations of the word with boys (baby boys) is directly at odds with the nineteenth century tradition during which blue was associated with girls (baby girls). Artists in this show have submitted work exploring an array of subjects and concepts using the variability of the word, not merely color. We hope that the indeterminate nature of the word will free the viewer to allow the immediate and spontaneous response to a neutral stimulus, before the mind interjects a cognitive interpretation of a cultural construct of gender, emotion, or judgment that is not grounded in an objective reality. Adopting this initial spontaneous response to a work of art, free of any preconceived notions, may open the viewer to a richer experience and appreciation of art. Enjoy! Exhibit runs through February 2, 2020

Helsinki Hudson Celebrates WinterWalk with Jesse Malin and Band
Jesse Malin — whom the London Times says “writes vivid songs with killer tunes and sings them with scary conviction” — and Lucinda Williams — the southern troubadour once named “America’s best songwriter” by Time magazine — first met in the early 2000s at a jazz club in NYC’s West Village. In a joint 2017 Rolling Stone interview, the two discussed their “shared love of miscreants, misfits, the misunderstood and the mysteries of everyday lives binds them across the Mason-Dixon line.”

Bolshoi Ballet: Live in Cinemas: Le Corsaire
Sunday, December 8, 12:30 p.m.
Music: Adolphe Adam
Choreography: Alexei Ratmansky
Libretto: Jules Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Joseph Mazilier (edited by Marius Petipa)
On the bazaar square of Andrinopolis, the Pacha is struck by the beauty of Medora and tries to buy her, but the lovely young woman is not for sale. As the transaction is about to be completed, Medora is kidnaped by Conrad, a charming corsair (pirate) who catches her eye.
Bolshoi Prima Ballerina, the “mesmerizing” Ekaterina Krysanova and Leading Soloist Igor Tsvirko ignite Medora and Conrad’s passion with undeniable intensity (The Guardian).
